Peanut Butter Chocolate Overnight Oats

Two tasty flavors combine to form the perfect combo for these peanut butter chocolate overnight oats. They're a tasty breakfast but also great for an afternoon or after-dinner snack!
The first time I heard of overnight oats I wasn't sure how I felt about the whole idea. I'm not a big fan of oatmeal.
People rave about overnight oats so thought I'd give them a try. I'm so glad I did because they are soooo good!
My take on overnight oats involves peanut butter and chocolate because those are two of my favorite ingredients.
These chocolate and peanut butter overnight oats taste a lot like dessert without all the sugar. I add a little maple sugar for sweetness but these contain no refined sugar.
It's a fun way to start the day and I bet kids would love these too.
If you don't like peanut butter (say whaaat?) or if you are allergic, you can use almond butter or another nut butter. If you're allergic to nuts, try some tahini which is made with sesame seeds.
Nutrition-wise, these overnight oats are a great way to start the morning.
Rolled oats are a good source of carbs, protein, dietary fiber, and iron. Cacao powder adds antioxidants, magnesium, and iron, while chia seeds add fiber and omega-3s.
