    Make breakfast a decadent experience with these Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats. A classic combination of chocolate and peanut butter combines with creamy oats for a high-protein, make-ahead breakfast. Whip these up in just five minutes! This recipe is customizable and can easily be made vegan and gluten-free.

    Chocolate peanut butter overnight oats topped with peanut butter, peanuts, and chocolate chips.

    These decadent, pudding-like chocolate peanut butter overnight oats feel like a treat. This is thanks to the rich chocolate and peanut butter flavor in every bite. There are even little speckles of chocolate chips for added indulgence. But, guess what? These oats are nutritious and packed with 23 grams of protein per serving.

    Overnight oats are the ideal make-ahead breakfast for busy mornings. This grab-and-go breakfast is perfect for meal prep. This goes for baked oatmeal too like my Strawberry Baked Oatmeal and Protein Baked Oatmeal with Chocolate Chunks.

    This simple recipe uses cocoa powder and peanut butter powder for the classic chocolate-peanut butter combo. While these creamy, chocolaty oats taste like a peanut butter cup, they are not overly sweet. Completely customizable for diet and taste preferences, this nutrient-dense breakfast is one you will want to make again and again. If you love this recipe, then you will love my PB and J Overnight Oats and Matcha Overnight Oats too!

    • Fresh Fruit - berries, banana

    • Nut Butter - peanut butter, almonds butter, cashew butter
    • Granola - homemade or store-bought

    Storage

    Store servings individually in jars or air-tight containers. How long are overnight oats good for? Overnight oats stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to five days. (This makes it a perfect meal-prep breakfast.)

    Can you freeze overnight oats? No, do not freeze overnight oats.

    Expert Tips

    1. Combine the dry ingredients first. For the best incorporation, whisk the dry ingredients before adding the liquid.
    2. Mix in your serving bowl or jar for fewer dishes. Save the dishes and mix each serving in its own jar.
    3. Add a dash of milk when serving. These oats are deliciously thick. If you'd like them a little thinner, stir in a splash of milk.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long do overnight oats need to sit?

    Overnight oats need at least two hours to set in the refrigerator, but preferably overnight.

    Do you warm up overnight oats or eat them cold?

    You can enjoy overnight oats cold or warm. To warm, microwave one serving for 30 seconds to one minute. You can also heat it over the stovetop too.
