PEANUT BUTTER OVERNIGHT OATS

NICOLE MONTENEGRO One Workplace, Santa Clara

I have never been an early bird, and am known to press the snooze button a few too many times every morning. Due to this my morning routine is pretty chaotic, and as one would guess - leaves little time to prepare breakfast. This recipe is great to make the night before, and grab from the fridge on my mad dash out the door. Throw all of the ingredients in a small mason jar and you’re done! Not to mention - finding a big swirl of creamy peanut butter in the jar makes for a pretty amazing desk breakfast.

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine milk, nut butter, chia seeds, and syrup in a small mason jar and stir to combine.

Add oats and stir a few more times. Then press down with a spoon to ensure all oats are immersed in milk.

Cover securely with a lid and set in the refrigerator overnight
(or for at least 6 hours).

The next day, open and enjoy as is or garnish with desired toppings.
