Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats are a rich, creamy spin on the classic—easy to prep and full of chocolatey, nutty flavor.

Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
I love breakfasts that taste like dessert, so I turned one of my favorite treats—Reese’s cups—into these chocolate peanut butter overnight oats.
They don’t have actual candy in them, but the mix of chocolate and peanut butter gives serious Reese’s vibes.
I can’t decide if I love these or the brownie batter oats more, but overnight oats in general are a win—quick, easy, and fun to change up (especially when they taste like a treat!).

Ingredient In Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
- Peanut Butter: Use creamy, not chunky, so it stirs in easily.
- Vanilla Extract & Salt: Boosts flavor and balances the sweetness.
- Greek Yogurt: Choose a sweet, mild yogurt—honey vanilla works best.
- Milk: Use your favorite milk, but unsweetened almond milk is my fave.
- Old-Fashioned Oats: Stick with old-fashioned oats; quick oats get too mushy.
- Cocoa Powder: Dutch cocoa is smoother and less bitter than regular cocoa powder.
- Maple Syrup: Start with less and add more later if needed.
- Optional Dark Chocolate Chips: Add them right before eating so they stay firm.

How To Make Peanut Butter Overnight Oat
- Combine creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, honey vanilla Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, old-fashioned oats, Dutch-process cocoa powder, and maple syrup in a bowl or jar.
- Mix everything well until the peanut butter is fully blended.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight or for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow the oats to thicken.
- Optionally, top with dark chocolate chips before serving. Enjoy within three days.
Quick Tip
Because it’s thick and sticky, make sure to really stir in the peanut butter. These oats won’t taste as good if the peanut butter isn’t thoroughly mixed in. I like to use the back of my spoon to mash it throughly into the other ingredients.
