Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup milk (any type)
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 tsp honey or maple syrup
1 tsp chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

Add rolled oats to a jar or container.
Pour in the milk.
Add peanut butter and honey or maple syrup.
Add chia seeds if using.
Stir everything thoroughly until the peanut butter mixes evenly with the oats.
Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Stir the oats in the morning and add toppings such as banana slices, berries, or nuts before serving.

Notes

Rolled oats provide the best texture for overnight oats because they soften well without becoming mushy. Stir the mixture thoroughly so the peanut butter blends evenly into the oats. If the oats become too thick in the morning, add a small splash of milk and stir. These oats can be eaten cold straight from the refrigerator or warmed briefly in the microwave if preferred.
