The secret to the perfect texture lies in the combination of chia seeds, Greek yogurt, and milk. As they rest together overnight, the oats soften into a pudding-like consistency that perfectly complements the nutty swirls of peanut butter and the crunch of mini chocolate chips.

Ingredients

• Oats Base:
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or non-dairy alternative)
• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Mix-ins:
• 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
• 3 tbsp mini chocolate chips
• Toppings (optional):
• Sliced bananas
• Additional peanut butter drizzle

In a medium bowl or large jar, combine the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to mix.

Step 2

Add the peanut butter and chocolate chips. Stir to distribute evenly.

Step 3

Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours, to allow the oats to soak and thicken.
