    If it's not with chocolate and peanut butter, it's time to add it to the mix.

    chocolate peanut butter overnight oatsWhat are overnight oats?

    Overnight oats are made by soaking raw oats in milk. This no-cook method allows the oats to soften as they absorb the liquid. Versatile and easy, adding flavoring and toppings are a great way to add variety to your breakfast. 

    So, these chocolate peanut butter overnight oats will taste like a treat. But with healthy ingredients!

    What kind of oats do you use for overnight oats?

    Use old-fashioned rolled oats for overnight oats. After soaking, rolled oats make for a creamier consistency. Quick oats and steel cut oats may leave your finished product mushy or gummy.

    For this recipe, and any oats recipe that needs to be gluten-free, be sure to select certified gluten-free rolled oats.
