Gluten Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

overnight oats, 2 jars
Print Recipe

Soft, lightly sweet overnight oats are a blessing to busy mornings! Packed with nutrients like chia seeds and oats, flavored with nut butter and cocoa, this meal in a jar is a healthy way to start your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup milk (we like cashew milk)
  • 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter (or other nut butter)
  • 2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice, such as monk fruit sweetener, honey, stevia, etc.
  • 1/2 cup quick cooking oatmeal (rolled oats can also work)

Instructions

  1. Combine the milk, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and sweetener in a small bowl or measuring cup, with enough room for stirring.
  2. Whisk well so the chia seeds get completely coated with the milk, and there’s no clumps of cocoa powder.
  3. Now add the oats and peanut butter and stir to combine. Don’t worry that it looks thin at this point. Time and patience will turn it into perfect, pudding-like perfection.
  4. Pour into a jar, add a lid and chill for at least 8 hours, or overnight. The chia seeds need lots of time to absorb the liquid and soften into a creamy consistency.

Notes

These are great to make in bulk and keep in the fridge for a quick breakfast or snack. 

If you are making these gluten free, double check that the oatmeal you use is certified GF - not all of the brands are!
