A quick and easy no-cook breakfast combining creamy Greek yogurt and peanut butter with rolled oats for a protein-rich, satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (45 g)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla (120 g)
  • 2 tablespoons natural unsweetened peanut butter (32 g)
  • ½ cup milk or milk alternative (120 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (12 g) – optional
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (21 g) – optional
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (2.5 ml) – optional
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients: In your jar or mixing bowl, add ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds if using. Stir to mix.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Spoon in ½ cup Greek yogurt and ½ cup milk of choice. Add 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter. If peanut butter is very thick, warm it slightly (10-15 seconds in microwave) to ease stirring.
  3. Sweeten and flavor: Add 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Mix thoroughly: Stir everything well until peanut butter is evenly distributed and oats are fully coated with no large clumps.
  5. Seal and refrigerate: Cover jar or container with lid and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours.
  6. Check consistency: In the morning, stir oats. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Texture should be creamy but not runny.
  7. Add toppings and serve: Top with sliced bananas, fresh berries, or chopped nuts. Serve cold or let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if preferred.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; warming peanut butter slightly helps it blend smoothly. Soak oats for at least 6 hours but no more than 8 to avoid gluey texture. Stir well before refrigerating to prevent peanut butter clumps. Store leftovers in fridge up to 3 days; add milk before eating if too thick. For vegan option, use plant-based yogurt and milk, and substitute peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter.
