02 - 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds

# How to Make It:

01 - In a medium bowl or large jar, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly to blend all components.
02 - Add the creamy peanut butter and mini chocolate chips to the oat mixture. Stir well to distribute evenly throughout.
03 - Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to fully hydrate and achieve a creamy consistency.
04 - In the morning, stir the oats and add a splash of additional milk if you prefer a thinner texture.
05 - Transfer to a serving bowl and top with sliced bananas, a drizzle of peanut butter, and extra chocolate chips as desired.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Zero cooking means you can literally make this while half-asleep, then grab it from the fridge like a personal time machine.
  • The chocolate chips soften into the oats overnight, creating pockets of richness that feel indulgent for something this wholesome.
  • It actually tastes better the next morning than it does five minutes after mixing, which defies all breakfast logic in the best way.
02 -
  • I learned the hard way that chunky peanut butter doesn't swirl evenly and just sits in globs, so creamy is genuinely better here despite what your preferences usually tell you.
  • The overnight chilling is non-negotiable—this isn't a recipe you can rush, and once you stop trying, it actually becomes faster than cooking anything else.
03 -
  • Use a glass jar instead of plastic if you're making these regularly—they look nice in your fridge and you can actually see when something has settled or separated.
  • The secret that changed everything for me was realizing that a tiny pinch of salt makes the peanut butter taste more like itself and deepens the chocolate, so I add it almost every time now.
