CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER OVERNIGHT OATS
Happy earth day! I wanted to take this opportunity to highlight a recipe that can help cut down on your food waste by repurposing an almost-empty peanut butter jar—chocolate peanut butter overnight oats! If you don’t have an almost-empty jar, no worries, I have instructions for using a glass jar as well which is also a sustainable option. Spend just a few minutes on prep and you have a delicious protein and fiber packed breakfast ready for the week.

Ingredients
- OVERNIGHT OATS
2 tbsp 2 chia seeds
2 tbsp 2 hemp seeds
1/3 cup 1/3 gluten-free oats
1 tbsp 1 cacao powder
pinch salt
1 1 + 1/4 cups nut milk (see below for my cashew milk recipe)
1 1 -2 tsp maple syrup (depending on preference)
1 tbsp 1 peanut butter (either from the jar directly or added to a jar)
2 tbsp 2 dairy-free chocolate, finely chopped
- CASHEW MILK
1 cup 1 raw cashews
1 1 pitted date
4 cups 4 water
1 tsp 1 vanilla extract
pinch salt
Directions
- To make the cashew milk, add the cashews and date to a large glass mixing bowl and completely cover with boiling water. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to soak.
- Add the soaked cashews and date to a blender along with the water, vanilla, and salt. Blend on high speed until completely smooth. Pour over a mesh strainer into a pitcher for best results (you can still use without straining, but it may have small pieces). Refrigerate, covered, for 3-4 days.
- To make the overnight oats, simply add the chia seeds, hemp seeds, oats, cacao powder, and salt to your peanut butter jar, or to a glass jar with a lid.
- Mix well, then add in the milk and maple syrup. Add the additional peanut butter if needed, then incorporate the chopped chocolate.
- Shake the jar to combine, then set in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
