Peanut butter and chocolate for breakfast? Uh, yes please!

Especially when it’s creamy, indulgent, and packed with almost 20 grams of protein without a single scoop of protein powder.

And if you know me, you know that makes me very happy as a Registered Dietitian!

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!

Trust me, you’re gonna try these once and be totally addicted.

I tested this recipe a few times to get it just right, and let’s just say I was ecstatic every morning I realized I had them for breakfast!

Want something refreshing and fruity on the side? The best strawberry smoothie is sweet, fruity, and totally crushes it in the protein department, no powder powder needed! It’s the kind of combo that makes you wonder why breakfast ever had to be boring.

Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Overnight Oats (High Protein!)

Creamy, indulgent, and still packed with almost 20 grams of protein without any protein powder, these Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Overnight Oats come together in less than 5-minutes, are totally dairy-free and make the perfect easy grab and go breakfast!

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup large flake oats
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened soy milk
  • 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup, or 5-Minute Date Paste Caramel
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 1 mason jar or container with a lid

Instructions
 

  • Add the oats, cocoa powder, chia seeds and salt to a mason jar or container and stir to combine. Add the soy milk, peanut butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract and stir well to combine. Try to mix up the peanut butter as much as possible, but it's okay if there are some chunks that aren't totally smooth!
  • Place the lid on the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but ideally 4-8 hours. Remove from the fridge once you're ready to enjoy and give it a sitr!

Notes

If your natural peanut butter is super thick you can mix it into the oat, cocoa, chia seed and salt mixture first so that it distributes better when you add the liquid ingredients.
The oats will be ready after 2 hours, but they’re the best texture after 4-8 hours, so I recommend letting them sit 4-8 hours!
