Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats – I already have a great recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats, but you can also just mix in chocolate chips or add the chocolate topping for a fun twist.

How to Store Overnight Oats with Peanut Butter

I love these overnight oats jars (opens in a new tab) for making and storing several batches in the fridge! To store overnight oats, make them directly in the jars and add airtight lids. Keep them in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days!

Another option is to make a big batch of this recipe in a large, airtight bowl, store with an airtight lid, and simply scoop out the oats in the morning.

    These were delicious! I used crunchy Natural peanut butter and added a bit more almond milk, a few choc. Chips and a bit of granola to the top right before eating and they were perfect!
