It’s the perfect finishing touch to an already perfect breakfast, adding another layer of creamy, nutty goodness.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup peanut flour
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients, except the chocolate chips, in a medium-sized airtight container or jar. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Place the container in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.

  4. Serve chilled, optionally topped with an extra drizzle of peanut butter for an even richer flavor.

Tips & Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup. You can also experiment with other natural sweeteners.
