Why You’ll Love the Peanut Butter Cup Overnight Oats Recipe
This overnight oats recipe uses staple ingredients that you can find in your cupboard already or at any grocery store, no special ingredients needed!
You can make multiple breakfasts all at once. I like to make individual servings, but you can make a large batch in a big bowl and portion it out into your individual servings when you are ready to eat them.
This is a protein packed breakfast, peanut butter and oats naturally have a good amount of plant proteins in them, making them a great choice. You can also add some protein powder if you really want.
No bake recipes are always so easy and take only minutes to prepare. There is no cooking, baking, microwaving, nothing to this recipe (unless you want to eat them hot in the morning then go for it!) making it super simple!
Tips for the Perfect Peanut Butter cup Overnight Oats
Mixing in a scoop of protein powder can help bump of the protein content of this and keep you feeling fuller for even longer. Adding this still keeps this a no bake recipe.
Another easy way to add in more protein would be to use a protein filled yogurt. The recipe calls for Greek yogurt, but I have been seeing more brands with higher protein yogurts, try that out and see if you like it!
Adjust the sweetness and chocolatey flavor to your liking. Drizzle in a little more sweetener or add a little more chocolate so your taste buds are happy.
Meal Prep and Storage Tips
Prep multiple servings at one time. You can put out multiple single serving dishes and just put one of everything in the bowl or you can multiple the ingredient amounts and put it all in a big bowl to dish up later.
Store these in the fridge for up to four days, the oats soak up the liquids to give it a great custardy texture.
If you want to eat them warm pop them in the microwave for a few seconds at a time until they are to your liking.
