By spending 10 minutes (if that!) combining rolled oats with milk, yogurt and a few fun mix-ins the night before, breakfast is done and waiting for you the next day.<\/p>\n<p>Peanut butter overnight oats is just one of many fun flavor variations on classic overnight oats. Adding creamy peanut butter, brown sugar and cinnamon transforms plain oats into a breakfast that tastes like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-peanut-butter-oatmeal-cookies\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-peanut-butter-oatmeal-cookies\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">peanut butter oatmeal cookie<\/a>. It sounds decadent, but this overnight oats recipe with peanut butter is nutritious too. Each serving packs 18 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber for an energizing and satisfying start to your day.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Peanut Butter Overnight Oats<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Oats:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/quick-cooking-oats\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/quick-cooking-oats\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Old-fashioned oats<\/a>, which are the same as rolled oats, are ideal for overnight oatmeal recipes. They&#8217;re thick (but not too thick), which allows them to absorb liquid without losing their pleasant, chewy texture. Do not substitute instant or quick oats; doing so will result in watery, mushy oats. Steel-cut oats require more liquid than called for in this recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brown sugar:<\/strong> This recipe is sweetened with 4 tablespoons brown sugar, which adds notes of caramel and molasses to make the oats taste dessert-like. If you prefer less sweetness or will be adding sweetened toppings like chocolate chips or granola, cut the brown sugar amount in half.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cinnamon:<\/strong> A pinch of ground cinnamon adds a hint of warming spice. If you love cinnamon, you can use more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Milk:<\/strong> Milk is the creamy base of our soaking liquid. The oats will absorb the milk, transforming into a creamy pudding-like consistency, as they sit in the fridge overnight. This recipe calls for 2% milk, but you can use 1%, whole or nondairy milk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Peanut butter:<\/strong> You can use any kind of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-peanut-butter\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-peanut-butter\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">creamy peanut butter<\/a> to flavor the oats. However, natural peanut butter that is thinner and drippier will be easier to combine with the other ingredients. You can also warm the peanut butter in the microwave or put it in a small saucepan on the stovetop to soften it and make it easier to stir.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Greek yogurt:<\/strong> Adding yogurt produces a thicker, creamier texture than soaking the oats in milk alone. We&#8217;re using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/benefits-of-greek-yogurt\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/benefits-of-greek-yogurt\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Greek yogurt<\/a>, which is thicker and has more protein than regular yogurt.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla:<\/strong> Pure vanilla extract enhances the flavor, sweetness and aroma of the overnight oats recipe with peanut butter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optional toppings:<\/strong> Customize your peanut butter overnight oats with fresh fruit, crunchy granola, extra peanut butter, or nuts and seeds. Create chocolate peanut butter overnight oats by adding chocolate chips.
