One of my favorite treats is a good, old-fashioned peanut butter cup with chocolate. I translated that love into Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats! These oats require no cooking time, they just need to sit overnight in the fridge. I also add chia seeds to the recipe for extra crunch, texture, added nutrition. Be sure to use natural peanut butter and non-fat Greek yogurt for best results. You will fall in love with my Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats for breakfast… or dessert!

What are the Health Benefits to Overnight Oats?
Overnight oats are soaked overnight in a yogurt-milk mixture. This milk can be plant-based or cow’s milk. As the oats soak, they soften and allow for easier digestion. This means more nutrients are getting adsorbed into your body!
This particular recipe has a whopping 16 grams of protein per serving, which is a whole half-full mason jar. There are also 25 grams of carbs per serving, which is not necessarily low carb, but not high either! For another delicious breakfast recipe, try my Apple Cinnamon Muffins.
