Creamy peanut butter overnight oats

Ingredients

Amounts cover the whole recipe. One US cup is a 240 ml measuring volume, one tablespoon 15 ml and one teaspoon 5 ml. Can weights are before draining; metric conversions from the original are rounded.

Method

1. Put the oats, peanut butter, chosen sweetener and optional vanilla into a clean jar or container with a lid.
2. Pour in the milk and stir thoroughly, breaking up any large lumps of peanut butter with the spoon.
3. Cover and refrigerate immediately. Leave for at least 6 hours or overnight.
4. Stir again in the morning. Add fruit or nuts if desired. If the mixture is too thick, stir in a splash of milk or water and serve cold.

Serving and variations

Try jam instead of the sweetener, or use another milk or plant-based drink. To prepare two breakfasts, double every amount and use two jars. This recipe contains peanuts and, if used, dairy milk; choose ingredients that suit your dietary needs.

Meal prep and storage

Prepare the oats for the next morning and keep at 5°C or below. Follow the storage guidance and use-by date on opened milk or plant-based drinks. Use an insulated cool bag for transport; add fruit and crunchy nuts when you eat.
