Print Recipe

These creamy peanut butter cup overnight oats are a 5-minute, no-cook breakfast that tastes like dessert but keeps you full until lunch. Made with simple ingredients like rolled oats, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and cocoa powder, this recipe has converted even the biggest overnight oats skeptics.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ⅓ cup milk of choice (whole milk, oat milk, or almond milk)
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 regular-sized peanut butter cup (e.g., Reese’s), chopped

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, and a tiny pinch of salt. Whisk together with a fork to break up any clumps.
  2. Add ⅓ cup milk, ¼ cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter, 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until the peanut butter is fully incorporated (about 30 seconds). If the peanut butter is stubborn, microwave it for 10 seconds first.
  3. Check the consistency—it should be loose and soupy. If too thick, add another tablespoon of milk. If too thin, it will firm up overnight.
  4. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the chopped peanut butter cup for topping. Gently fold the rest into the oat mixture, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the mixture into a mason jar or airtight container. Sprinkle the reserved chopped peanut butter cup on top and press them in slightly.
  6. Cover with a lid and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, ideally 8-12 hours (overnight is perfect).
  7. In the morning, stir well. If too thick, add a splash of milk. Serve cold or at room temperature straight from the jar.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats, not quick or steel-cut. Room temperature ingredients mix more smoothly. Best eaten within 1-3 days, but keeps up to 5 days in the fridge. For meal prep, multiply ingredients and mix in one large bowl before dividing into jars. Add fresh toppings like banana or granola in the morning, not overnight.
