The rich, nutty flavor of peanut butter blends with deep chocolate notes to create a creamy, just-sweet-enough base that tastes like a treat but is a super nutritious breakfast!
It’s kind of like my super popular Healthy Brownie Batter Overnight Oats, but balanced with slightly salty, creamy peanut butter. My mouth is seriously watering just thinking about it!

Meet the Dream Team of Ingredients
Guess what? You probably have all of the ingredients on hand already to make these chocolate peanut butter overnight oats!
Large flake oats: I’ve tested this recipe with quick oats too, but the large flakes hold up better for that perfect texture.
Cocoa powder: For all the chocolatey goodness.
Natural peanut butter: Creamy or crunchy, I’ve tested both and they’re both AMAZING.
Maple syrup: Just enough sweetness! You can swap this for my 5-Minute Date Paste Caramel for a delicious twist.
Soy milk: Adds creaminess AND a protein boost.
Chia seeds: For fiber and healthy fats!
Vanilla extract & a pinch of salt: To round out flavors and bring out that peanut buttery goodness.
