A creamy, make-ahead breakfast that combines complex carbs and protein for lasting energy. These oats are rich with peanut butter flavor and require just minutes of prep the night before for a stress-free morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1 pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a 12-16 ounce jar with a lid, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, and chia seeds. Stir briefly with a fork.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and maple syrup to the jar. Pour the milk over everything.
  3. Seal the jar tightly with the lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the mixture is completely uniform and no dry pockets remain.
  4. Place the sealed jar in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight (6-8 hours), to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and thicken.
  5. In the morning, stir the oats well. Enjoy cold straight from the jar, adding your favorite toppings if desired.

Notes

For best texture, use old-fashioned rolled oats, not quick oats. If your peanut butter is very thick, warm it slightly for easier mixing. The mixture will look quite wet after mixing but will thicken significantly in the fridge. Add fresh toppings like fruit or nuts just before eating.
