Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ⅓ cup milk of choice
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt, divided nonfat, low-fat, or full-fat
  • ½ tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
  • ½ tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • optional toppings: 1 teaspoon chopped peanuts, ½-1 tablespoon caramel sauce, 1 teaspoon mini chocolate chips, flaky sea salt

Instructions

  • In a small resealable bowl or large mason jar, combine oats, milk, ⅓ cup yogurt, cocoa powder, peanut butter, brown sugar, chocolate chips, vanilla, and salt.
    Stir until well combined. Cover and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight.
  • The next day, top with the remaining yogurt (about 2 ½ tablespoons) and optional toppings like chopped peanuts, caramel sauce, mini chocolate chips, and flaky sea salt.

Notes

  • Thin or thicken as needed. If your yogurt has a very thick texture, you may need more liquid, and if it's very thin, you may need less liquid. When making overnight oats for the first time, err on making them too thick. It's easier to adjust the next morning with more milk than to thicken too-runny oats. 
  • Sweeten to taste. Adjust the sweetness with honey, maple syrup, or your favorite sweetener to suit your preference.
  • Meal prep friendly. Make multiple jars at once for an easy grab-and-go breakfast all week.
  • Keep toppings separate: If making ahead for several days, store toppings in a separate container to maintain their texture.
 
Nutrition calculation is without optional toppings. 
To make as pictured, top oats with 1 tablespoon caramel sauce, 1 tablespoon chopped peanuts, and yogurt. Sprinkle with more chocolate chips and peanuts, drizzle with caramel sauce, and finish with flaky sea salt.
