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.

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.

Expert Tips
- Combine the dry ingredients first. For the best incorporation, whisk the dry ingredients before adding the liquid.
- Mix in your serving bowl or jar for fewer dishes. Save the dishes and mix each serving in its own jar.
- 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.
