HOW DO YOU MAKE VEGAN CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER OVERNIGHT OATS?
It’s always so silly to me to write out overnight oats “recipe” because there isn’t much to it.
For this dairy free dark chocolate peanut butter overnight oats, you are going to literally, add all your ingredients into your container and stir together really well.
Put a lid on your bowl or container (we like using mason jars for easy on the go travel). Then, let it sit for 8 hours or overnight.
Add chopped peanuts or vegan chocolate chips, if desired, right before serving.
That’s literally all you have to do.
CAN I PREP THIS VEGAN CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER OVERNIGHT OATS AHEAD?
Yes! This can be prepped up to 3 days in advance. It’s nice sometimes to just make a big batch and then divide into separate jars and have breakfast ready for a few mornings!
We don’t advise that you put and additional toppings on top beforehand.
So, if you are traveling with them or taking these to work with you, you can put toppings in a to go container and add once ready.
CAN I MAKE THIS TOP 8 ALLERGY FRIENDLY CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER OVERNIGHT OATS?
Absolutely!
You can swap the peanut butter for sunbutter.
Also, choose a safe Top 8 allergy free milk like oat, rice, flax, or hemp, then this recipe will be completely Top 8 free.
Yay for easy allergy friendly meals!
DO YOU SERVE OVERNIGHT OATS WARM OR COLD?
This is entirely up to you!
Traditionally, overnight oats are stored in the fridge and then you just grab and go in the morning without any additional work. Thus, served cold.
However, if cold foods bother you, then you can definitely warm it up!

I don’t understand how this went so wrong. It smelt delicious and I had high hopes but my 2 kids and husband had to throw it in the bin. Absolutely gutted as we loved the apple cinnamon oat recipe

Hi Victoria. We’d love more feedback here. Did you make any changes? What type of chocolate are you using? What was the exact issue as it’s not really clear here what wasn’t liked?
Melis

This is a delicious overnight oats recipe and it’s now been put into my breakfast recipe rotation. Since I like a more liquid consistency I add a bit more almond milk in the morning. I used mini chocolate chips as a topping, because who doesn’t love chocolate and peanut butter for breakfast? Thanks for a great recipe!
LarishaCampbell
Thanks so much! We are so glad that you loved our recipe!
