Equipment
- 250 ml Mason jar or other container
- Measuring cups and spoon
- spoon or fork, for mixing
Ingredients
- ½ cup almond milk, plus more for serving
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds
- 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder optional
- 2 tablespoons creamy or chunky peanut butter, plus more for serving

- Toppings: blueberries, banana slices, dried fruits, extra peanut butter and chopped peanuts optional
Instructions
- In a Mason jar or container, add the almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon powder (if using) and peanut butter. Blend thoroughly but lightly mix in the peanut butter using a spoon or fork. Note: I don't fully combine the peanut butter since I like to leave some swirls.
- Toss in the rolled oats and mix until combined. Make sure that all oats are submerged to the liquid.
- Cover the jar or container and keep in the fridge for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
- Top it with your favorite fruits, seeds, chopped peanuts or a drizzle of more peanut butter.
- Serve and enjoy!

Notes
- Add about ¼ cup of yogurt for more protein and thickness. Vanilla Greek yogurt is a great option.
- If you want to enjoy the oats sooner, make sure to let them sit for at least four hours.
- If it's too thick, whisk in additional milk to thin it up. If the mixture is too thin, add more chia seeds or oats and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
- To make this gluten-free, use gluten-free oats.
- If you want to cut the amount of sugar in this recipe, use stevia or monk fruit as a sugar substitute. If you are not on vegan diet, you can use honey.
- Experiment with different toppings.
