Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (45 g)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (32 g), natural or creamy
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (12 g)
- 3/4 cup milk of your choice (180 ml), dairy or plant-based
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (15 ml)
Instructions
- Measure 1/2 cup rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds into a jar or bowl.
- Add 3/4 cup milk and stir gently to soak the oats and chia evenly.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup over the oats and stir thoroughly.
- Add 2 tablespoons peanut butter on top; swirl partially or stir completely before refrigerating.
- Seal the jar or bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- In the morning, stir and adjust texture with a splash of milk if needed; add fresh fruits or nuts as desired.
Notes
Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Natural peanut butter without added sugar is recommended. For a creamier texture, use whole milk or oat milk. Add peanut butter fresh in the morning to avoid sinking or hardening. Consume within 1-2 days for best freshness. Optional toppings include fresh fruits, nuts, cinnamon, or vanilla extract.
