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, those oats sound so good! I need to spice my oatmeal up I think haha!
For anyone trying to find that yummy coffee but don’t live by a Fresh Market, I just got some TODAY at Marshalls! It’s wonderful.
I’m not sure if they all carry it but, it’s worth a shot!
just made some and can’t wait til breakfast time! i sprinkled with cinnamon and raisins … thanks for the great recipe! 🙂
Just made these and they are SO good! I’ll admit I was skeptical, but seriously delish. I love how THICK they are. Biggest pet peeve is runny OO 🙂
I have never made overnight oats before (I was always a little afraid of them!) but I decided to try them out tonight! I didn’t have chia seeds, but I did have flax seeds, and my super scientific google search told me that they work but they just don’t absorb as much liquid. So, I made these with slightly less milk and slightly more (flax) seeds… I also used white chocolate peanut butter! Can’t wait to try them out! I licked my spoon after I stirred and it tasted great!
I have been eyeing the Overnight Oats recipes for the whole time I’ve been reading the blog (+6 months or so). My hubby and I recently changed our diets and are no longer eating any dairy or animal by-products. Therefore, more oatmeal and other minimally processed foods. Anywho-I ADORE peanut butter and one of the reasons I hadn’t tried this before was the Chia Seeds. When I saw this recipe last week it sealed the deal> Went straight to the store, bought some seeds, made oats last night, and they were AMAZING! LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing with your readers!!!
Love your blog just discovered it through Lauren Conrad’s blog! This oatmeal looks amazing cant wait to try it! I also have an oatmeal recipe I did but it’s a hot cooked version.. you should try it! http://healthnutnutrition.wordpress.com/2013/02/06/the-best-oatmeal-ever/
I’ve never made overnight oats before this recipe. I’m not sure I’ll try any other kinds- because these are just the BEST! Tastes like dessert for breakfast…or lunch…or…dinner?
Do you eat the Peanut Butter Oats cold? I’m not a fan of oatmeal, but I wish I was…this sounds interesting and something that I may like. Thanks for the info…I think I may give it a try!
This is my new favorite breakfast! My favorite way to make it is with low fat chocolate milk- no sweetener needed!
These peanut butter over night oats are amazing!!! Yummy!!!
