These easy 5-minute peanut butter protein overnight oats are creamy, filling, and perfect for busy mornings. Made with simple ingredients like rolled oats, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, and chia seeds, this no-cook breakfast comes together in minutes and tastes like dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (50g) rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • ¼ cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla protein powder (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Grab a 16-ounce Mason jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
  2. Add dry ingredients first: ½ cup rolled oats, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (if using), 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and a tiny pinch of salt. Shake to combine.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter. If cold, microwave for 10 seconds to soften.
  4. Pour in ½ cup milk, ¼ cup Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup.
  5. Close the lid and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds, or stir with a spoon until fully combined and no dry patches remain.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness or peanut butter flavor as desired.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight (8-12 hours).
  8. In the morning, stir well. If too thick, add a splash of milk. Serve cold or microwave for 30-45 seconds for warm oats. Top with desired toppings.

Notes

For extra creamy oats, mash half a ripe banana into the mixture before refrigerating. If skipping protein powder, add an extra tablespoon of peanut butter and a tablespoon of chia seeds. These oats keep in the fridge for up to 5 days and can be frozen for up to a month. Do not use steel-cut oats; they won’t soften enough overnight.
