Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
Description
In this recipe, rolled oats and ground flax seed are mixed with peanut butter and maple syrup, then soaked in milk inside a jar overnight. This resting period softens the oats, allowing them to absorb the flavors and liquid, producing a creamy yet slightly textured consistency. The inclusion of flax adds a mild nuttiness and omega-3 nutrients while thickening the mixture.
The peanut butter provides richness and protein, balancing the natural earthiness of the oats, while maple syrup offers a delicate sweetness. The oats are eaten cold or at room temperature without further cooking, making preparation simple and hands-off.
These oats are easily customized with toppings such as fresh fruit or extra peanut butter to enhance flavor or texture. The jar method also makes the dish portable and convenient for breakfast on the go.
The recipe notes that it can be prepared up to three days in advance and suggests ingredient substitutions like hemp hearts or protein powder for additional protein. Adjusting milk quantity, as updated in 2024, improves the final texture.
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats old-fashioned
- 1 tablespoon Flax Seed ground

Instructions
- In a 12-ounce or larger glass jar, combine the rolled oats, flax, peanut butter, maple syrup, and milk. Stir well to mix.
- Secure a lid on the jar, then place it in the fridge to chill overnight. You can make this up to 3 days in advance, so feel free to double or triple the recipe to make more jars at once.
