Ingredients and Substitutes

This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for overnight peanut butter oats, the role each ingredient plays in the recipe, and substitution options.For measurements, see recipe card below.

• oatmeal – These create the best consistency for this recipe compared to quick oats or steel cut oats. Oats are naturally gluten-free, but may become contaminated during processing. If you are gluten intolerant, be sure to use gluten-free oats.
• chia seeds – In addition to fiber, these seeds help thicken the oat mixture. You can also use flaxseed instead.
• peanut butter – I used natural peanut butter in this recipe, but another nut butter (like almond butter) will give you similar results. If you want a nut-free alternative, you can use sunflower seed butter.
• sugar – I used this unsweetened honey Acts as a natural sweetener, but any honey works in this overnight oats recipe. Substitute maple syrup for vegan options.
• vanilla extract –Uses high quality, pure vanilla extract for optimal flavor.
• chocolate chips – I use These Sugar Free Dark Chocolate ChipsBut you can use any type you like.
• almond milk – I do it myself unsweetened almond milkbut use whatever milk you like (homemade or store bought).
