Light, creamy and delicious Peanut Butter Chocolate Overnight Oats are always the perfect snack or breakfast. Loaded with protein, fiber and ready in minutes.
My name is Lauren and I am obsessed with Overnight Oats. The good news is that they are healthy. The bad news is that I want to eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I promise not to share a different Overnight Oats recipe each week (although I am really tempted to) but this one was too good not to share, and most of you know that peanut butter and chocolate is the best combination ever.
If you are looking for more overnight oats recipes, you will love these Chocolate Gingerbread Overnight Oats, Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats, Apple Pie Overnight Oats and definitely these Creamy Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats!
All of these would be even more yummy with some Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate, Apple Chai Latte, Eggnog Latte and definitely some Spiked Apple Cider!
Also, my cookbooks are both on sale now and would make a great gift! The Everything Wheat Free Diet Cookbook and The Greek Yogurt Cookbook are both the lowest prices I have seen!
Why You Should Make These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Overnight Oats
I am always telling clients, friends, family members...basically anyone that wants to hear that we need to add more protein and fiber with each meal and snack.
These delicious, creamy overnight oats contain 30 grams of protein ad 9 grams of fiber PER SERVING. If this is your choice for breakfast, this a nutritious way to start the day.
What better way to enjoy all of that protein and fiber than with the yummy combination of peanut butter and chocolate?
These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Overnight Oats take minutes to prepare (perfect for meal prep day!) so you can always have them in your refrigerator at all times. Such an easy way to avoid mindless eating.
Recipe Tips
- You can use any nut or seed butter in place of peanut butter if you have an allergy or just don't like it (GASP). I love using my sunflower seed butter or my coconut almond butter!
- Use any flavor or protein powder you'd like. Just make sure you read the ingredient labels, many of them contain unnecessary additives and sugars. My favorite protein powder is this one and I use it daily.
- If you don't like chocolate or want to try something different, add some chopped pecans, sliced almonds or other nuts, sunflower seeds and even hemp seeds (my favorite!)

I have been reading so many recipes for overnight oats. I realize you can eat it cold but that sounds so unappealing to me. Does it change the nutrition or is it weird to warm it up in the microwave in the morning?

Hi Margie! To be honest, some of these freezing cold winter days I have been warming them up for a bit in the microwave. Feel free to do that if that sounds better to you 🙂

I'm hooked on this too! I can't wait to try this today. I never thought to add peanut butter. Most recipes I see for overnight oats have too many unnecessary ingredients. Thanks for another great recipe.
