Peanut Butter Overnight Oats


Don't throw out your almost empty container of nut butter! Make overnight oats right in the jar! This is a super easy clean eats recipe!


THE STUFF:

1 almost-empty jar of nut butter. You can use any kind you like: peanut, almond, sunflower seed, just as long as it's natural with no additives!

1/2 cup (1 serving) of your favorite style oats

1 cup of water

1 TBS chia seeds

1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt

1 banana, sliced

4 strawberries, sliced

6-8 raspberries

1 TBS hemp seeds


THE METHOD:

1. Throw oats, water, and chia seeds in almost empty nut butter jar (this was peanut butter), close lid, and leave in the fridge overnight. 

2. By the next day the oats and seeds absorb the water. Scrape the peanut butter remains from the jar and stir everything together. 

3. This step is totally optional, but I prefer my oats warm! Empty contents of jar in a small pan and cook on low heat for a few minutes until warm. (You can also warm in the microwave (throw it all in a bowl and cook for a few minutes), but be careful of overflow!

4. Pour oat mixture in a bowl and top with Greek yogurt, bananas, berries and hemp seeds.


You can top with any fruit you like! I don't like very sweet meals but you can sprinkle in a bit of natural sugar, like coconut sugar, if you prefer!!

Enjoy
