Reasons you'll love these overnight oats:

  • Plant-Based & Gluten-Free: This recipe doesn't use any animal products or have gluten in the ingredients, making it perfect for households with dietary needs or restrictions.
  • Great for Meal Prepping: My favorite thing about this recipe is that you can take 5 minutes to prepare breakfast for the entire week! It holds up well in the fridge for 5 days and travels well to work or school.
  • Easy Recipe: This recipe calls for just five ingredients and takes five minutes to make. It's also what I would categorize as a beginner level recipe and perfect for all levels of comfort in the kitchen.

Ingredient Notes

Labeled ingredients including: oats, chia seeds, plant based milk, peanut butter, plant based yogurt

Oats: I prefer to use old fashioned oats but you can use most types of oats in overnight oats. Some will require more or less plant based milk so just be sure you adjust accordingly!

Chia Seeds: This is a great way to add some extra nutrients into your overnight oats. This article about chia seed benefits discusses how they are a good source of protein, fiber, and more!

Oat Milk: I love the creaminess that comes from oat milk in this recipe so that's my first choice of milk. I've made this recipe with just about every plant based milk possible, are they have all been good.

Yogurt: I like to used plant based yogurt to add extra creaminess, use any brand or flavor that you prefer.

Peanut Butter: You can use chunky or creamy, dealer's choice!

Quantities are labeled in the recipe card below.

Substitutions and Additions

Milk Options: I used oat milk in this recipe but you can use any plant based milk that you love best. If you're not going to use oat milk you can try coconut milk, almond milk, soy milk, etc.

Yogurt: I love making peanut butter overnight oats with yogurt. This is a great way to incorporate some extra creaminess into your oats. I love using a flavored plant based yogurt like vanilla or blueberry.

If you omit the yogurt be sure to add an extra ¼ cup of plant based milk.

Peanut Butter: Even though the peanut butter is the heart of this recipe, you can certainly omit it or swap it for another nut butter. Almond butter or cashew butter are both great alternatives.

If you have a nut allergy, you can use sun butter instead of a nut butter.
