Ingredients

2 and 1/2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of salt
1/4 cup (55g) honey vanilla Greek yogurt (See Note 1)
2/3 cup (155g) unsweetened almond milk, (or another milk)
1/2 cup (50g) old-fashioned oats
1 tablespoon Dutch-process cocoa powder, (See Note 2)
Sweetener (0-2 tablespoons pure maple syrup) (See Note 3)
Optional: dark chocolate chips

Instructions

PREP THE OATS: In a small bowl, jar, or plastic container, stir together the peanut butter, vanilla extract, pinch of salt, yogurt, almond milk, old-fashioned oats, cocoa powder, and maple syrup.
STIR: Stir well and make sure the peanut butter is mashed in thoroughly.
CHILL: Cover the container and refrigerate overnight or until sufficiently cooled and thickened. (Sometimes I'll even make them in the morning, get ready, and then go eat them -- they are great even after 30 minutes in the fridge)
ENJOY: When ready to eat, if desired, top with dark chocolate chips. Store overnight oats in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes

Note 1:Yogurt: The yogurt can totally overpower these oats, so get a mild tasting, sweet yogurt. My personal favorite is Honey Vanilla Greek yogurt (made by Greek Gods®). It's sweet, mild, and creamy. Whatever yogurt you choose to use, make sure you like it plain or you likely won't love it in these peanut butter overnight oats. A plain vanilla yogurt (not Greek yogurt) is also a great option.

Note 2: Cocoa: I recommend a Dutch-process cocoa powder as opposed to a plain (natural) cocoa powder. Any Dutch-process cocoa powder will work, but Hershey’s® does sell a Special Dark cocoa powder that is readily available at most grocery stores

Note 3: Sweetener: We like 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup best, but sweeten to personal preference (1/2 tablespoon up to 2 tablespoons maple syrup OR 1/4 teaspoon liquid stevia).
