Overnight Oats Ingredients

To make this easy overnight oats recipe, you will need the following ingredients (see the recipe card below for exact amounts):

• Old fashioned oatmeal: Old fashioned oats are also called rolled oats.
• Greek vanilla yogurt
• Milk: You can use regular whole milk or almond milk.
• Peanut butter: Creamy peanut butter is best for this recipe.
• Graham crackers
• Dried figs

Kitchen Tools Needed

You will need 8oz mason jars for this recipe.

How to Make Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

1. In a medium bowl mix together oatmeal, yogurt, milk and peanut butter.
2. In two small glass jars put in 1 tablespoon of graham crackers, top with a quarter mixture of oatmeal, add in a ¼ cup of figs, then top with a quarter of the oatmeal mixture. Repeat process in the other jar. If desired, garnish the top with additional graham crackers (about a ¼ teaspoon), figs, and peanut butter (a ¼ teaspoon of each).
3. Tighten lid of jar and refrigerate 2 hours and up to 5 days. When ready to eat, microwave for 30 seconds to a minute.

Recipe Tips

• The peanut butter will make the oatmeal thicken, so it may look like too much liquid, but it will thicken up overnight. If desired, add in more milk after heating when ready to eat.
• If you don’t have mason jars, you can make it in a bowl as well.

Variations

Chocolate Protein Powder – adding a spoonful can turn this into healthy chocolate peanut butter oats to really satisfy that sweet tooth and get some more protein in your breakfast. Peanut butter chocolate overnight oats are also a sure way to get your kids to eat a healthy breakfast. You can also use cocoa powder.

Maple Syrup – You can substitute plain Greek yogurt and add maple syrup for sweetness.

Chia seeds – with subtle taste, chia seeds are a great way to get more nutrients and antioxidants without changing the flavor of a dish.
