The Breakfast That Tastes Like a Reese’s Cup!

I have a serious weakness for chocolate and peanut butter together. Reese’s cups are one of a reliable treats, so it only made sense to turn those flavors into a breakfast I could prep ahead.

These chocolate peanut butter overnight oats don’t have any candy in them, but they have that same rich, chocolatey, nutty flavor. The peanut butter makes the oats extra creamy, the cocoa powder gives them a brownie-like flavor, and the Greek yogurt adds the best thick texture.

I’ve made a lot of overnight oats over the years, and It is satisfying to how straightforward they are to change up. Some mornings I want something fruity, some mornings I want brownie batter oats, and other mornings I want this chocolate peanut butter version with a few chocolate chips on top.

This recipe is one of my favorites because it feels like a treat, but it still takes less than 10 minutes to prep. Stir everything together at night, pop it in the fridge, and breakfast is ready when you are.

All the ingredients in this recipe prepped out for straightforward assembly including the oats, milk, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla, yogurt, chocolate chips, peanut butter, and salt.

Since peanut butter is thick, really stir it in. Use the back of a spoon to mash it into the oats so every bite has peanut butter flavor.
