These Peanut Butter Overnight Oats are now one of my favorite make-ahead style breakfasts. It’s super simple – just mix it up before going to bed, pop it in the fridge, and in the morning just open it and eat!
These Peanut Powder oats have the perfect consistency for this recipe. They did not disappoint on the easy-to-make or flavor fronts either. Between the protein found in the powder and the greek yogurt, you can rest assured that you will remain full for a good part of the day.
👩🍳 Why This Recipe Works
Beyond Easy: You only need five minutes and a handful of ingredients to make this.
Flavorful: The combination of oats, peanut butter powder, cinnamon, and honey is drool-worthy.
Customizable: You can always mix in extra ingredients to change the flavor too. So, you can enjoy some variety with your breakfast.
🥛 Ingredients
Not only does this taste incredible, but it is also simple to make. There isn’t a long list of ingredients you need either so that you can throw them together in minutes. Here are some of the main ingredients you will need:
Jif Peanut Powder: You can find this powder in the same aisle as the regular peanut butter. If your grocery store doesn’t have it there, look in the organic section as they sometimes hide it there. Other brands work perfectly well as a substitution.
What is Peanut Powder: This powder is simply roasted peanuts that are pressed to push out all excess oil. Then its is ground up into a powder. Because the oil is pressed out, the fat content is reduced. Two tablespoons of peanut butter runs about 190 calories. This powdered version will be 45 calories. Don’t worry, the taste is still fantastic, so you didn’t sacrifice flavor for that reduction.
Old Fashioned Oats: The oats will be the bulk of the ingredients and will keep you filled up and satisfied. Be sure to use old fashioned instead of minute oats.
Vanilla Greek Yogurt & Milk: You need to have some kind of liquid for the oats to absorb and become softer. Using yogurt and milk together gives a fantastic texture.
Chia Seeds: There are so many reasons to add chia seeds. They are packed with fiber, protein, calcium, magnesium, and zinc!
🥄 Instructions
Step One: Pour the first five ingredients into a mason jar (or lidded container of your choice). Add in milk and stir well until the peanut powder is well incorporated into the mixture and all of the ingredients are well combined.
Step Two: Pour in honey and vanilla greek yogurt and mix with the oat mixture.
Step Three: Top with a layer of mini chocolate chips. Cover with a lid and refrigerate overnight.
Step Four: And in the morning, you’ll have this:
📌 Expert Tips
- This recipe provides a creamy overnight oats with a great consistency, and just a hint of sweetness. Adjust the sweetness.
- If you wanted to make things even easier, mix together a couple of these jars a few days ahead of time just using the fist five ingredients since they’re all dry and shelf-stable. The night before, just mix in the milk, yogurt, honey and chocolate chips!
🍫 Substitutions/Suggestions
- Swap in vanilla yogurt for the vanilla greek yogurt.
- Leave the yogurt out altogether – if you do this, it won’t have as creamy of consistency and I suggest adding a bit more honey for sweetness.
- Leave out the chocolate chips if you’d like, since they’re just a topping. But having the chocolate chips makes it almost dessert-like, so my vote is for keeping them in!
- If you decide to leave out the yogurt, you’ll have more room in your jar – adding in a few banana slices is a great idea!
- Use other peanut butter powders in place of the Jif brand.
Recipe FAQs
There is a variety of answers when it comes to how healthy overnight oats are. They are loaded with fiber from the oats, but some of the ingredients you add-in may not be healthy.
This particular recipe is loaded with healthy ingredients, but other recipes are filled with candy and other sugary ingredients. So, keep in mind what you are adding to them that you pick healthy items.
The fantastic thing about overnight oats is that they can be eaten cold, straight out of the fridge. It’s a wonderful breakfast!
Additionally, you can warm them up. Simply place them in the microwave for 30 seconds or so until they are warmed up.
They actually last in the fridge for 4-5 days! This is ideal for meal planning and will save you loads of time throughout the week.

love anything peanut butter!
The flavor is good but it set up like concrete! If I make it again I’ll probably leave out the yogurt or double the milk. It’s so thick and sticky it’s hard to swallow.
Hello, I am confused on the calorie count. I used the ingredients exactly how they’re written. Is that 276 calories? Or do I timed it by 2? Thanks!
The recipe makes 2 servings so it is 276 servings for EACH serving. I hope that helps. There is a calorie counter installed where we just input the ingredients and then divide by the number of servings and it is pretty accurate. If I ever feel that a recipe isn’t matching, I will not do calorie counts at all and note it in the recipe card for everyone. I hope that helps! 🙂
I just made these and plugged into My Fitness Pal. I used PB2 powder, oat milk and coconut yogurt. I won’t actually try it until tomorrow at work, but I have really enjoyed experimenting with different recipes. Cannot wait to try it!
That is awesome! Let us know how it works out!!
Alex if you use peanut butter powder, unsweetened almond milk and lily’s chocolate chips you can make it WW friendly.
Alicia! Love that idea! Thanks for the tip!!
Lol just put this into my WW app and it’s 19 points? Yeah try again.
Hey Alex! I have been updating all the recipe plug ins and our current one does not have the WW points and I don’t have the old version with WW points. I wish it did so I could see what you saw. But no worries at all. I double checked the recipe anyways to make sure that there are no references to WW points on it as I definitely don’t want to claim something that is inaccurate. Thanks again! 🙂
Hey Alex, just a thought with your app too! It is 2 servings! Anyways, thanks again for checking in!
Love this recipe. I had it for breakfast this morning. Used almond milk instead. So good.
Love Almond milk! I just made a post for more overnight oats that all use Almond milk and it turns the oats so creamy!! Is that what happened to you as well?
I love this. I’ve made it several trips he’s now. It’s so easy and really yummy. I’ve been using almond milk instead of 2% and it turned out great!
Do you have nutrition facts? I’m wanting to figure out weight watchers points.
I’m always trying to make my night before a busy morning a bit easier. Making a few of these jars ahead of time would certainly help that… and help ensure I have breakfast! {client}
These definitely are a nice way to save time in the morning!
