Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tbsp chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp mini marshmallows
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mason jar or airtight container, add the rolled oats as the base layer.
- Pour the milk over the oats, ensuring all oats are fully submerged and mixed thoroughly.
- Add the peanut butter to the mixture, gently stirring to create a creamy, even distribution throughout the oats.
- Drizzle honey or maple syrup into the jar, providing a natural sweetness to the recipe.
- Incorporate vanilla extract, which will enhance the overall flavor profile of the overnight oats.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly across the surface of the mixture, allowing them to slightly sink into the oats.
- Top the oats with mini marshmallows, creating a playful "Moose Tracks" inspired texture and taste.
- Seal the container tightly with a lid and gently shake to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
- Place the jar in the refrigerator and let it sit overnight or for at least 6-8 hours to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and develop a creamy consistency.
- In the morning, give the oats a quick stir, and enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
Tips
- Choose the Right Oats: Always use rolled oats for the best texture and absorption.
- Milk Matters: Experiment with different milk types like almond, oat, or coconut milk for unique flavors.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to add fresh berries or nuts for extra crunch and nutrition.
- Meal Prep Friendly: These overnight oats can be prepared up to 3 days in advance.
- Temperature Tip: While best enjoyed chilled, you can warm them slightly if you prefer a warm breakfast.
- Sweetness Control: Adjust honey or maple syrup to suit your taste preferences.
- Storage Secret: Always use an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent absorption of other refrigerator odors.
