Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

Peanut Butter Overnight Oats are a delicious on-the-go breakfast. Easy to make vegan and naturally sweetened with maple syrup, these overnight oats are prepared the night before and refrigerated. In the morning, mix in bananas or apples—or nothing at all—and enjoy. As an added bonus, they can be made in batches so you've got enough for the week. Whether you're young or old, vegan or not, these overnight oats are the perfect way to start any day.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened cashew milk
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter unsweetened
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups extra thick rolled oats

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a blender, combine the cashew milk, peanut butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth. (If you’re making an individual serving, you can do this by combining everything in a mason jar and shaking.)
  2. Divide the rolled oats between four mason jars.
  3. Divide the liquid ingredients between the jars, then stir using a spoon or a butter knife.
  4. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
  5. Enjoy cold the next morning. Add peanuts, banana slices or apple slices to jazz up these oats.

Notes

  • To make ONE 8 oz. mason jar
  • Can I use regular old fashioned oats? Of course! If you make four for the fridge, though, they'll become a little mushy by the time you're ready to eat the fourth one on the fourth morning, though.
  • Why use unsweetened cashew milk and peanut butter? I don't like a lot of added sweetness to my breakfast, and the sweetness I do add, I like to have control over. It's easy to cut out extra sugars first thing in the morning by finding these items without added sugar/sweetener
  • If you or your family members are allergic to peanuts, use another nut butter (assuming you have no allergies to tree nuts in your family) and substitute the cashew milk for coconut milk, rice milk or cow’s milk.
  • If your peanut butter is hard to mix, microwave it for 30 seconds before combining with the liquid ingredients.
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cashew milk
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (unsweetened)
