Peanut Butter Overnight Oats | EASY PB2 Overnight Oats Recipe (2024)

What do I need to make peanut butter overnight oats?

• Plain Greek yogurt – using Greek yogurt (preferably 2% or 5%) is a great source of protein for your oats and will give them a delicious creamy consistency.
• Unsweetened vanilla almond milk – feel free to use your preferred plant-based or dairy milk. Using dairy will also give you some extra protein. If you’re using a plant-based milk, be sure to check the label to avoid any added or refined sugar.
• Oats – I’ve discovered through dozens of batches of overnight oats that old fashioned rolled oats (not instant and not steel cut) are the best for achieving an ideal consistency.
• Chia Seeds – chia seeds are a fantastic super-food and will provide you with Omega-3 fatty acids. They are a high-quality source of good fats, which is something we need daily.
• Sweetener – use your preferred granular or liquid monk fruit/stevia sweetener. I like Whole Earth and Lakanto sweeteners, both of which contain no refined sugar and zero glycemic index.
• Vanilla extract – this is great for adding flavor. If you like, almond extract is another great option for added flavor.
• Powdered Peanut Butter, like PB2 – after several rounds of testing, I discovered that powdered peanut butter mixes the best for making pb2 overnight oats and still provides you with good peanut butter flavor. If you prefer, you can substitute traditional nut butter. Be sure to use a good quality nut butter without any refined oils or sugar. Ingredients should be just nuts and salt.

Topping ideas for your PB2 overnight oats:

• Fresh berries – tossing on a handful of blueberries, strawberries or raspberries will give you the delicious flavors of a PB&J. The fruit flavors pair wonderfully with the peanut butter.
• Sliced banana – slicing a banana to the top of your oats is a natural pairing and goes perfectly with the peanut butter flavor.
• Chocolate chips – go for a low or no-sugar chocolate chip option like Lily’s No Sugar Added chocolate chips to keep your breakfast on the healthier side.
• Drizzle of peanut or almond butter – either chunky or creamy peanut butter will give you that extra flavor of peanut butter in every bite.
• Chopped nuts – good quality peanuts, walnuts or sliced almonds are a great choice and will give you some crunch in every bite.

Wanting to add banana to your overnight oats? For best results, add the banana just before eating. If you add the banana and then refrigerate, the banana will become brown, watery and unappealing.

Best Containers for Overnight Oats: Mason Jars make great overnight oats containers. I also love using these Glass Meal Prep Containers. They stack easily in the refrigerator, seal well preventing spills, and are great for packing in lunch boxes.
