Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats instructions

1. Note: The darker or more pure the cocoa powder is, the more bitter it becomes (think dark versus milk chocolate). Similarly, traditional maple syrup used for pancakes versus pure maple syrup will be sweeter due to the ingredients. Keep this in mind when making your oatmeal. **Both of these options pictured aren’t as sweet, so I add 2 heaping tablespoons of vanilla yogurt! :).
2. Stir all of the oat ingredients together until well blended. Place in an airtight container or jars. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until thickened. (Coconut added for texture out of preference!).
3. Stir well before serving with banana slices, peanut butter, chocolate chips, and/or any of your other favorite toppings!.
