Think you can’t have chocolate for breakfast? Think again! A little bit of cocoa powder goes a long way in this chocolate peanut butter overnight oats recipe. With a rich and creamy texture, sweet and salty flavour, and a balance of protein, fibre and healthy fats, these overnight oats are a delicious and nutritious way to start the day.
When life gets hectic and you’re trying to eat well, quick and easy recipes always seem to be the answer. Whether you’re in a rush to get out the door in the morning, trying to get the kids organized or simply want to hit snooze one extra time, taking some time to prepare breakfast ahead of time is a great way to give yourself an extra couple of minutes in the morning and overnight oats are a perfect solution.
Although designed as a make-ahead breakfast, these chocolate peanut butter overnight oats work equally well as snack or post-workout meal. By using milk, Greek yogurt and peanut butter in this recipe I was able to create overnight oats with 20 grams of protein and 7 grams of fiber, making it a very well-balanced meal. Not to mention, overnight oats store well in the fridge for days, so you can whip up several servings for easy grab-and-go meals and snacks for days to come.
