Chia Peanut Butter Overnight Oats Recipe: Ingredients/Substitutions

Here are a few possible substitutions that can be made in this recipe.

• Almond milk. Any non-dairy or regular dairy milk can be used in place of almond milk with great results! Remember, the higher the fat content, the creamier the oats will be.
• Maple Syrup. Honey, brown rice syrup, and agave are all great substitutes for pure maple syrup.
• Peanut Butter. If you have a peanut allergy, feel free to substitute your favorite nut or seed butter that complies with your dietary needs!
• fashioned oats. Quick-cooking oats, rolled oats and steel cut oats can all be used to make this recipe.

How to Make Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

Let's discuss this recipe, and don't forget to watch the video.

Begin by blending the ingredients (minus the oats) together. I prefer blending them so that the chia seeds are pulverized and don't get stuck in our teeth. You can simply mix everything together by hand if you prefer.

Add the oats last

Even though I like to blend the chia seeds, the texture is the best when the oatmeal retains its hearty, chewy texture and is not blended into the other ingredients.

So add the oats last and pulse once to combine. Then transfer to glass jars with lids and store overnight to enjoy in the morning.

Serve

Here are a few suggestions for toppings/mix-ins that pair wonderfully with these peanut butter oats:

• Fresh Berries (careful not to use frozen berries unless you thaw and drain them first. They release water as they thaw and will cause your oats to become a little “soupy”)
• Fresh fruits (bananas, apples, citrus fruits, etc.)
• Nut Butters (like this vanilla almond butter or this homemade peanut butter)
• Chia Seeds
• Candied almonds
• Cinnamon Sugar pecans 
• Honey or Maple Syrup
• Strawberry Sauce
• Chocolate chips or cocoa nibs
• Nuts (almonds, cashews, peanuts, etc.)
• Dried Fruits (cranberries, apricots, rasins, etc.)

Store

Store in a glass jar with a lid for up to 5 days in the refrigerator or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator.
