Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

Start your morning off with these delicious Peanut Butter Overnight Oats! I’m a huge TONE IT UP girl and these are tone it up approved if you use almond butter instead of peanut butter, which I do often. I like them equally as much! If you’ve never checked out “Tone It Up,” you’re missing out on such an amazing journey, group of women and delicious recipes like this one.

Eating a healthy breakfast in the morning is the key to my energy all day long.  I never skip breakfast and I try to prepare 2-4 servings of overnight oats every Sunday as meal prepping is so important to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  There are so many ways to modify or add your own spin to this recipe.  The best part- they take no time at all to prepare and you just keep them in the refrigerator all week and grab them before you run out the door.  EASY, right? Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 2/3 c. oats
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (substitute almond butter)
  • Optional- 1 scoop of protein powder (I use this kind )

SERVINGS: 2

TIME: 5 minutes

First, mash up your banana in bowl using a fork.

Then add 2/3 cups of oats (any oats are fine) and mix until the oats are coated with the banana mash.

Next, add 2 tablespoons of peanut butter or almond butter and use your fork to blend it into the oat mixture.

Last, add 3 tablespoons of unsweetened vanilla almond milk (any milk or almond milk works) to your oats.  If the oats seem dry, keep adding almond milk until they are a smooth consistency.  Depending on the oats you use you may need to add more or less almond milk.

(Optional- at this point add your favorite protein powder. You will definitely need to add a few extra tablespoons of almond milk will the powder.)

Cover in airtight container and let sit overnight. Tip: divide into individual containers for an easy grab and go breakfast.

I love to top mine with fruit, cacao nibs, melted peanut butter or almond butter and granola. But you can use your favorite toppings!
