Welcome to the first Breakfast Food Friday!  I’m so excited to share my overnight peanut butter cookie dough oats with banana (in a jar), which I mentioned on Wednesday.

The recipe itself is delicious, but the remnants of a jar of White Chocolate Wonderful took it to the next level.  The combination of flax and chia seeds make these overnight oats somewhere between cake batter & cookie dough consistency – so delicious!

 

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Overnight Oats

Prep Time: 5 mins

Cook Time: Overnight

Ingredients (1 serving)

 

  • 1/4 cup oats (I used old fashioned)
  • 2 Tbsp peanut flour or PB2
  • 1 Tbsp peanut butter (or a jar that’s almost empty!)
  • 1 Tbsp ground flax
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • 5 drops stevia or 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp nutritional yeast or pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
  • 3/4 cup milk

Instructions

Stir together dry ingredients.

Add in yogurt, mixing well, then stir in milk.

Refrigerate overnight.

      It contributes that slight salty flavor that I love in peanut butter cookies!

    You know, I’ve never actually tried overnight oats! Do you eat them cold in the morning or heat them up? I guess the idea is that the oats soak up the liquid from the milk and yogurt right?

      Cold the majority of the time, but sometimes I heat them up if it ends up being a cold morning! :) Exactly, the milk/yogurt softens the oats, while the flax and chia thicken the whole mixture up to increase volume.

    I still can’t get into overnight oats. I like them hot! ;)

      Maybe I love cold summer breakfasts since we don’t have air conditioning! :)

    Hey Claire!
    I just found your blog and can’t stop reading it! I have really been trying to step up my fitness lately, so I have been reading people’s blog to inspire me. Yours is doing just that! I thought it would be good for me to start my own to hopefully motivate myself. You should check it out and give me any suggestions that you may have!

    I’ve been loving overnight oats lately. It’s too hot to eat them warm!

    This looks delicious! Though I am not a fan of oats in general I’ll have to pass this recipe on!
