What’s great about these oats is that they are great for everyone! You can make a couple servings at the beginning of the week and you’ll have breakfast ready to go each morning.

Let’s break down a few benefits of overnight oats.

They are a wholesome breakfast option. Oats are a nutritious whole grain loaded with vitamins and antioxidants. They are also rich in fiber which can help to keep you full until lunch time!

Oats are a great source of resistant starches. Resistant starches are great for your gut and provide numerous health benefits.

Oatmeal has soluble fiber. Soluble fiber is great for your gut, can help keep you regular (lol seriously!) and improve digestion.

Variations and substitutes

Another great thing about oatmeal and peanut butter is that it’s so versatile. It creates a great base for a wide variety of toppings. These 4 recipes all have similar base ingredients like oats, milk and peanut butter. What makes each recipe unique is the flavor profile and added special ingredients. Let’s break down the main base ingredients:

Oats are the main event and necessary for overnight oats, duh! For a majority of these recipes you can use whole rolled oats or quick oats. For one of the recipes we will be using steel cut oats.

To get creamy overnight oats we will be using milk. Please don’t use water as it won’t create a creamy texture! Here are a few milk options you can use: cows milk, almond milk, oat milk, or any dairy free milk of choice.

Peanut butter is another necessary item for peanut butter overnight oats, lol. You can use creamy or crunchy peanut butter but make sure you use an all natural kind! All natural peanut butter will have one or two ingredients; peanuts and salt. Processed nut butters can have added chemicals, sugars and preservatives.

How to make peanut butter overnight oats

Overnight oats can be prepared in 5 minutes. Yup, only 5 minutes! The longest part is letting the oats chill in the fridge for about 4-6 hours or overnight. Please note that these steps will vary depending on which flavor of oats you make. Overall, they all follow pretty similar steps.

STEP 1

STEP 2

Secondly, add all the ingredients in the jar and mix well.

STEP 3

Thirdly, put the lid on the mason jar and store the oats in the fridge overnight. Oats are best when enjoyed within 2-3 days.
