This peanut butter Chocolate Overnight Oats recipe is my favorite meal prep breakfast or lunch! It's packed with protein, takes 10 minutes, and literally tastes like dessert.

We can never have enough Chocolate Overnight Oats.

My kids devour these chocolate overnight oats the minute they are ready and they get the award for easiest make-ahead breakfast (along with Bircher Muesli or Strawberry Overnight Oats)! They are so easy to grab and go; I make them for kids lunches, summer trips to the pool, park, camping, and even to bring to the airport!

This recipe makes two half pint mason jars or single serve containers, then refrigerate overnight (or up to 5 days). Enjoy them plain or top with fresh berries, sliced bananas, coconut flakes, or cacao nibs.

• ▢ 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats*, (90g)

• ▢ 1 Tablespoon chia seeds

• ▢ 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, (I like clean simple eats or active stacks)

• ▢ 2 Tablespoons maple syrup, , or a few drops of liquid chocolate stevia

• ▢ 1 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, (300g)
