Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Overnight Oats

Enjoy the delicious and decadent flavors of a chocolate peanut butter cup in a healthy and nutritious breakfast with these Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Overnight Oats! Oats soaked over night with almond milk, cocoa powder, and peanut butter, and then is topped with a layer of melted chocolate!

Who says you cannot have a Reese’s peanut butter cup for breakfast?! These overnight oats are scrumptious and decadent without being overloaded with sugar or other weird ingredients and best of all, offer a nutritious start to your day! These oats are super simple to mix up and prep the night before.

The layer of melted chocolate on top really makes this seem like a dessert, so if you prefer a “sweeter” breakfast, these overnight oats are the perfect alternative!

To make Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Overnight Oats, you will need:

• old fashioned oats
• unsweetened almond milk
• unsweetened cocoa powder
• pinch of salt
• natural peanut butter
• vanilla extract
• maple syrup
• semi-sweet chocolate chips
• peanuts (for garnish)

Recipe Tips and Suggestions:

• Be sure to use old fashioned oats instead of quick oats. Quick oats will result in a mushier texture.
• I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but any milk that you have on hand will work for this recipe.
• If peanut butter is not your thing, you can swap it out for almond or other nut butters.
• Maple syrup works well to sweeten these oats, but if you don’t have any, you can also stir in 1-2 teaspoons of stevia or other sweentener alternatives, or, of just regular old light brown sugar.
• If you are feeling too lazy to make the chocolate top layer, you can skip this step and just stir in a tablespoon of chocolate chips to get the chocolate fix.
• Feel free to stir in other add-ins if desired like chia seeds or protein powder.
• This recipe is for one serving, but can easily be doubled or tripled for meal prepping.
