Equipment

  • 1 mason jar

Ingredients
  

Base

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • ½ cup milk of choice
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • To start, combine old-fashioned rolled oats and chia seeds in a bowl or directly into the overnight oats container.
  • Next add the Greek or vegan yogurt to the bowl.
  • Add the peanut butter, almond extract and milk to the bowl and mix the overnight oats together until well combined. 
  • Optional: you can also add a sweetener like maple syrup, honey, fresh fruit or frozen fruit to add sweetness.
  • Finally, seal or cover with a lid in an airtight container, and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • The next day, uncover and enjoy from the glass container. Thin with a little more milk or water, if desired, or warm in the microwave or stovetop until warmed through.

Notes

Notes
  1. If you do not have milk, you can use water to make this Snickers overnight oats recipe. Keep all other ingredients the same.
  2. You can omit chia seeds if you do not have any or if you don't like the texture of chia seeds.
  3. It is preferable to use 100% natural peanut butter, unsweetened and unsalted. This will help to reduce the amount of additives in the recipe.
  4. You can replace the maple syrup with honey or omit all together.
  5. Store up to 5 days in the fridge. This is an easy and delicious high-protein breakfast idea that you can meal prep for the week.
