Peanut Butter & Maple Overnight Oats (Vegetarian, Gluten Free)
Whether for breakfast or a snack, these Overnight Oats are an easy way to pack in protein for a busy day.
Overnight Oats are one of those things that I love keeping a few premade jars of on-hand each week. I can guarantee you that no matter how hard I try, I’ll miss an opportunity to take a proper lunch, or I honestly forget. You might not relate, but as someone with ADHD, it’s quite easy for me to have a one-track mind and lose track of time. So, having a protein-packed meal/snack makes sure I avoid any possibility of becoming hangry or getting a hunger headache.
You can very easily swap other ingredients out within this recipe to add your spin, or add your favorite toppings. For me, it’s a case of whatever fruit, nuts, or seeds I have in the pantry and fridge and making use of those ingredients.
This version is packed with a strong balance of macronutrients (protein, fat, and carbohydrates) to help keep you full and satiated. Plus, you can make a few jars ahead of time and they’re great to eat on-the-go.
Let’s get to cookin’.

You can easily double or triple this recipe. If you do, it’s best to measure the recipe out in each jar or glass container using the measurements above (so, 1/2 c milk 1/4 c Greek Yogurt, 2 tbsp peanut butter, 1 tbsp maple syrup in one mason jar. Then add the dry ingredients).
Toppings
I like to toss hemp seeds and blueberries on top, but other combinations you might like are:
Cinnamon and diced apples
Strawberries and pecans
Raisins and cashews
