Description
A decadent yet healthy breakfast, these brownie batter overnight oats combine cocoa powder, peanut butter, and almond milk for a treat that satisfies chocolate cravings with a nutritious twist.
Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 tablespoon peanut butter (or almond butter)
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
2 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- In a jar or bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, peanut butter, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Stir everything together until well mixed, making sure the peanut butter is fully incorporated.
- Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 6 hours) to let the oats soak and absorb the flavors.
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir, and top with chocolate chips if desired.
- Enjoy your brownie batter-inspired breakfast!
Notes
For different flavors, try substituting the peanut butter with almond butter, cashew butter, or other nut butters.
Sweeteners like honey, agave, or your choice of sweetener can replace the maple syrup.
Dairy or non-dairy milk options like coconut, oat, or soy milk can be used based on preference.
Customize with nuts, seeds, dried fruit, or chopped bananas for extra flavor and crunch.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2-3 days and are even creamier after sitting overnight.
