PB2 Overnight Oats (so peanut buttery!)
Servings 1
These PB2 overnight oats are the ultimate healthy breakfast. They’re also gluten-free with a vegan option.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (47 grams) rolled oats or quick oats for a smoother texture
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons PB2 powder
- 2-3 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- splash of fresh lemon juice optional
Optional garnishes:
- peanuts chopped
- peanut butter
Instructions
- Combine the oats, milk, PB2, 2 teaspoons of maple syrup, vanilla, salt and lemon juice, if using, in a small bowl or jar. Refrigerate for at least four hours, preferably overnight.1/2 cup (47 grams) rolled oats, 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk, 2 tablespoons PB2 powder, 2-3 teaspoons maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, pinch of salt, splash of fresh lemon juice
- When you're ready to eat it, taste and stir in another teaspoon of maple syrup if desired (I use it). And if it tastes bland or if the peanut butter flavor doesn't pop, you need to add more salt!
- If desired, top with peanut butter and chopped peanuts. Serve immediately.peanuts, peanut butter
- If preparing in advance, don't add any toppings. Cover and refrigerate for up to 6 days, noting that the oats will become softer and softer the longer it sits.
Notes
- You can also use 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter in place of the PB2.
- Adding lemon juice neutralizes the phytic acid, making it more digestible. For more details, check out my post on → Overnight Oats Benefits. If you want to do that, soak them for at least 12 hours. Ideally, you'd use slightly warm milk to soak the oats, let them soak at room temperature (or slightly warmer than room temperature, like a laundry room or in a sunny spot) for 4 hours. I'm too lazy to heat up the milk and use cold milk, put the bowl with the prepared oats on a cooling rack and put that over a burner that's still warm after making dinner. After 4 hours, move the oats to the refrigerator for the remaining 8+ hours. Don't forget to move them into the fridge after 4 hours, or else they might spoil and/or develop something undesirable.
- If you're gluten-free, make sure to use gluten-free oats.
- If you're vegan, make sure to use plant-based milk.
