Whether this is your very first batch of overnight oats or you're just looking for a new flavor to try, these peanut butter overnight oats are my favorite. The peanut butter not only adds flavor but also creaminess, giving the oats a richer texture. When you add flax seeds and a touch of maple syrup, the texture and flavor are perfect, with extra fiber in every bite.

Ingredients

½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 tablespoon ground flax seed
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 tablespoons unflavored collagen peptides (or hemp hearts)
¾ cup milk of choice

Instructions

In a 12-ounce or larger glass jar, combine the rolled oats, flax, peanut butter, maple syrup, collagen (if using), and milk. Stir well to mix.
Secure a lid on the jar, then place it in the fridge to chill overnight. You can make this up to 3 days in advance, so feel free to double or triple the recipe to make more jars at once.
In the morning, take the lid off the oats and stir well. Add any toppings you like, such as fresh fruit or an extra drizzle of peanut butter. These oats are ready to eat right away.

Notes

Nutrition information is for the whole batch. This information is automatically calculated and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.

If you don't have flax seeds on hand, chia seeds could also be used.

Update Note: This recipe was updated in January 2024 to use 1/4 cup more liquid, resulting in a better texture the next day. In 2025, I added the option of using collagen or hemp hearts for added protein.
