Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional for extra creaminess)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter
1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
1 tablespoon chopped nuts (optional, for crunch)
Pinch of salt

Instructions

In a jar or airtight container, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt (if using), chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, peanut butter, and a pinch of salt.
Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Add mini chocolate chips and chopped nuts, folding them into the mixture.
Cover the container and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
Top with additional chocolate chips or nuts if desired, and enjoy!

FAQs

Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes! Use non-dairy milk like almond, oat, or coconut milk, and skip the Greek yogurt or replace it with a plant-based alternative.

Can I use instant oats instead of rolled oats?
You can, but the texture will be much softer and less chewy.

How long do overnight oats last?
They stay fresh for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Just give them a stir before eating.

Can I add protein powder?
Absolutely! Add a scoop of vanilla or chocolate protein powder and adjust the milk accordingly if it becomes too thick.
