Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
Peanut Butter Overnight Oats combine rolled oats, ground flax seed, peanut butter, maple syrup, and milk, soaked overnight to create a ready-to-eat, creamy breakfast. The mixture thickens as the oats absorb the liquid, resulting in a smooth, hearty texture with nutty and subtly sweet flavors, ideal for convenient morning meals.
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats old-fashioned
- 1 tablespoon Flax Seed ground
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ¾ cup milk of choice
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.
- In the morning, take the lid off the oats and stir well. Add any toppings you like, such as fresh fruit or an extra drizzle of peanut butter. These oats are ready to eat right away.
