Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
Ingredients:
1/2 cup rolled cut oats
1/2 cup milk (I like to make these with almond milk) 1 tablespoon peanut butter 1 teaspoon maple syrup 1 teaspoon chia seeds, optional Mason jar with lid
1. Add dry ingredients. Mix everything together by pouring the dry ingredients into the Mason jar first.
2. Add wet ingredients. I like to pour in the milk first, followed by peanut butter and maple syrup.
3. Make sure the oats are submerged. For the oats to become that softer oatmeal texture, they need to be fully submerged into the milk mixture.
4. Cover and place in the fridge. Oats can last a few days in the fridge
5. This peanut butter overnight oats recipe is versatile, so add in any fruit you love to enjoy with peanut butter.
