Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Topping
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, add the rolled oats, cocoa powder, peanut butter, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. This step ensures all your base ingredients are ready to meld flavors overnight.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture well until fully combined, paying special attention to incorporating the peanut butter evenly throughout the oats for a creamy texture.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover your jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, then place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. This soaking period softens the oats and allows the flavors to develop.

- Serve and Enjoy: Your brownie batter-inspired overnight oats are ready to eat straight from the jar or bowl. Enjoy this quick and delicious breakfast treat!
