peanut butter overnight oats recipe
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Yield: 2 servings 1x
- Diet: Vegan
Description
This no-cook peanut butter overnight oats recipe features a unique black sesame swirl for added flavor complexity. It’s a healthy, high-protein, and satisfying breakfast perfect for quick, grab-and-go mornings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (divided)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch fine sea salt
- 2 tablespoons black sesame paste
- 1 tablespoon water or neutral oil
- 1 teaspoon toasted black sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Combine Oat Base: In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, peanut butter, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Stir well until the peanut butter is mostly dissolved and the mixture is thoroughly combined.
- Prepare Sesame Swirl: In a separate small bowl, mix the black sesame paste with the remaining 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and 1 tablespoon of water or neutral oil. Whisk until the mixture is completely smooth and reaches a drizzly consistency. Add extra water or oil by the teaspoon if the paste is too thick.
- Layer Jars: Divide exactly half of the oat base evenly between two jars (approximately 8 ounces each). Drizzle half of the black sesame swirl mixture over the top of the oat layer in each jar.
- Finish Layering and Swirl: Add the remaining oat base on top of the first layer in each jar. Drizzle the remaining black sesame swirl mixture over the very top layer. Use a small knife or skewer to gently create swirls or ribbons through the mixture for visual appeal.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jars tightly with lids or plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soak and thicken fully.
- Serve Cold: Remove the jars from the refrigerator when ready to serve. Sprinkle the toasted black sesame seeds over the top for added crunch and enjoy cold.
Notes
To achieve the best texture, ensure you use old-fashioned rolled oats, not instant oats, which can become mushy during soaking. Adjust the black sesame swirl consistency by adding extra water or oil as needed. These overnight oats store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
