Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, add the rolled oats, cocoa powder, milk, peanut butter, and honey. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined and the peanut butter is evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the oats to soak for at least 6-8 hours or overnight to absorb the liquids and soften.
- Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. You can enjoy it cold or warm it slightly if preferred. Optionally, top with fresh fruit or nuts for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use rolled oats for the best texture; instant oats may become too mushy.
- Adjust sweetness by modifying the amount of honey to your taste.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Use any milk of your choice: cow’s milk, almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk all work well.
- Peanut butter can be creamy or crunchy depending on your preference.
