There are no less than one million overnight oats recipes on the internet these days. Okay, okay, that may be a slight exaggeration, but it sure seems like there’s an overnight oats recipe that will satisfy any flavor combination or craving. On this blog alone, I’ve shared a bunch, but here are my favorites:
And then there’s the basic how-to post for those who want to create their own batch of overnight oats: How to Make Overnight Oats.
But what about today’s recipe for peanut butter cookie dough overnight oats? Where does this one fall in the mix?
My peanut butter cookie dough overnight oats recipe is actually a throwback recipe I shared on the blog years ago. We’re talking 2013, my friends! When I went to make a batch of peanut butter cookie dough overnight oats for breakfast a couple of weeks ago, I thought of this post! I’ve been making the recipe for years and have it memorized but when I took a moment to look it up on the blog, I immediately realized the photos needed a little updating. Now that this recipe got a little makeover, I’m bringing it back to the forefront of the blog because it’s one you should add to your must-make list, especially if you’re in the market for a simple, prep-ahead style breakfast that will keep you feeling satisfied for hours.
So what do you need to make this overnight oats recipe? Not too much! Here’s a brief rundown of the ingredients:
- Old Fashioned Oats
- Peanut Butter
- Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (or milk of choice)
- Honey
- Chia Seeds
Making the overnight oats could not be any easier. You just stir everything together in a bowl, cover it up and refrigerate it overnight before adding a splash of almond milk and any desired toppings in the morning. This is the kind of breakfast I can get behind on busy weekday mornings with three kids in the mix!
I hope you love it, too!

Yum this looks super good! I’ll have to try it!
I love PB and overnight oats so the two together must taste amazine. I know what I’m having for breakfast tomorrow.
Mmmm these sound delicious!
yum!!! I want to try that coffee, too!!
Thanks for the recipe! I’ve never attempted overnight oats before and this may be my gateway! 🙂 Can’t wait to try them!
Yummy!
Yum, sounds delicious! I have to try that recipe. 🙂 Thanks for sharing! I wish I could get my hands on that coffee!!
what time do you usually have dinner? by the time I get home for dinner, it’s dark, cold, the possums are out and no way in heck am I taking Lando out for a walk. lol. I am such a wuss.
thanks for the recipe. I needed a switch up for my VOO.
Hi Julie! I’ve been reading your blog for a long time and really enjoy it. I just launched my own blog after losing over 40 pounds 🙂 Please take a look: http://coffeelovehealth.com
Thanks for sharing so much useful info on the blog!
I need peanut butter coffee in my life! I’ll have to try the peanut butter oats soon. Peanut butter is the best 🙂
I love peanut butter and I would love it in my coffee even more! Why can’t they come up with a K-cup in peanut butter flavor? Ugh, this is why I need to go back to a regular coffee machine. Or maybe just buy a peanut butter coffee and use the Keurig individual cup insert thing….the overnight oats look delicious!
I will prob sub in AB for this (don’t like PB), but sounds delish!
I might just make those overnight oats for tomo! Yum
Those build me up peanut butter cups look delicious.
Have you tried Trader Joe’s peanut butter cups? Those things are addicting too! 🙂
YUM! I have to try those oats!
I’m totally craving peanut butter now…
I love peanut butter so that seems like the perfect breakfast meal. I am definitely making that in the near future.
Yay!! I was hoping you’d post the recipe for this 🙂
Yum to the oatmeal! I wonder if it would taste just as good with some added banana or berries on top instead of peanuts?! I’m trying to stay away from the peanuts.
First, peanut butter coffee?!! YES PLEASE. Second, this recipe looks delicious!! PB is my drug and living in Italy, I’m just not understood by anyone so I love that you love it so much too. 🙂
I’m seriously making this tonight to have for breakfast tomorrow! Your dog is so cute! 🙂
Sounds so good Julie!! I think I am going to be making this tonight for breakfast in the morning. I have learned that I need to make the overnight oats right before I go to bed or else there is always a 50/50 chance I will eat them before morning. HA!
Sadie always cracks me up! I tried my first BodyPump class last night and I loved it. I live in a small town in Maine so we are lucky that they offer that here! I was so excited 🙂
These oats look so good! This blog is such a gold mine for peanut butter recipes. I’m still using your “peanut butter cup” smoothie recipe that I discovered about a year ago. 🙂
Julie, do you think they still have this coffee at Fresh Market? I have to try it!!
Who is your jacket by?! Love it!
OMG that breakfast is all of my favorite things in one! MY Fresh market doesn’t have that coffee 🙁 So sad! But I will definitely be trying those oats out!
Peanut butter coffee and peanut butter overnight oats! So much deliciousness in one post!! Yumm!! P.S. I love your scarf!
I am all over that coffee the next time I get to the Fresh Market!
The oats sound delish, but that’s obvious 😉
How was the coffee?!? Nutty? Sweet? I’m so curious!
Yay glad you posted the recipe 🙂 might even give this a go for this mornings breakfast and hope that the few hours before I eat it are enough for it to get thick
Would you recommend anything other than chia seeds to thicken this dish? I don’t have them on hand and am currently too lazy to go to the grocery store! 😉
Do you think there’s a way to recreate this recipe with quinoia for a wheat free option? Could you just substitute the same amount of quinoia as the oats and all other quantities of the remaining ingreadients remain the same? Looks like a delicious combo!
Hi Julie! I love your vanilla walnut overnight oats and I can’t WAIT to make these! Question: do you think I could use maple almond butter in place of peanut butter? The hubs & I are crazy about Justin’s maple almond butter and use that on everything, but if I use it, should I still add brown sugar? I love love your blog, although my productivity at work has been decreasing oooooops!
I agree, the overnight oats look delicious! 2 of my favorites – peanut butter and cookie dough! Looks a lot like a dessert dish for me, actually 🙂
ummm…peanut butter oats with honey roasted peanuts. Yes. Please.
You have a lovely doggy. I really like your pink top.
Oats look delish. I love a good bowl of oats.
What brand of coconut milk do you use? I used one brand and it was blehhhhh! Too sweet for me.
Yum! I’m going to make this tonight for breakfast tomorrow!
Will it be filling enough to hold me over for a few hours?
UPDATE: I made this last night for breakfast this morning and was full for HOURS! I used PB2, and in the morning I added strawberries and chocolate granola!
Next time I plan on adding cocoa powder so it’s Chocolate PB Oatmeal Cookie Dough 🙂
Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I obviously love oatmeal so I will be trying this, but I want to try that coffee. I’m not really a coffee drinker and this has peaked my interest! How many calories are in a cup and do you have to add cream/sugar?
That oatmeal looks decadent!! Yum!
I’m staying at a friend’s right now, and they don’t have any peanut butter. And the stores don’t sell peanut butter here in Mexico (where I live) so I’m going a little crazy! Soon enough I’ll be home again!
I absolutely LOVE overnight oats. I can’t wait until it’s not freezing anymore and the idea of a cold breakfast doesn’t make me shiver.
Where did you get the pink top? Love it!
Trying these oats tomo! TY!
This oatmeal looks heavenly!
A family tradition of mine is to eat something green! it could be green pancakes or anything at all!:)
I hate to admit it, but I hate oatmeal. I know it’s so good for you, but it’s hard. BUT this recipe looks absolutely delish, so I think I’ll give it another try 🙂
Have a great day!
YUM! Food porn. This looks so good! I know what I’m having soon…. 😉
Peanut butter cup coffee…that would never last months in my house.
Definitely going to have to try these overnight oats – they look super yummy! And peanut butter cup coffee doesn’t sound so bad either 😉
This is in the fridge for tomorrow morning!
