Peanut butter overnight oats without chia seeds are just as creamy and delicious. Overnight oats have now become the solution to your ever-lasting breakfast problem. You and I are scrolling through our favorite apps or binge-watching a show, and then we sleep late. We wake up late and rush to work; that is precisely when we miss breakfast because who has the time?
This is the part where I tell you to buy two ingredients and stock them up. A packet of instant oats and a tetra pack of milk, simply because a tetra pack will last longer. Peanut butter overnight oats without yogurt is a sure win because you don’t always need yogurt. Milk is enough to make a creamy structure. It requires just 4 ingredients, and don’t worry, I will even tell you how I make my homemade peanut butter. I have shared it with a few of my friends and relatives, and they make it that way. But why stop just there? I want to share it with you, too.

What ingredients do I need to make peanut butter overnight oats without chia seeds?
Instant Oats
I used instant oats to make overnight oats. It is readily available, soaks up moisture well, and tastes great.
Cow Milk (toned)
I used cow milk to provide moisture and flavor for the oats to soak up. Replace with plant milk to make it vegan.
Honey
Honey is used to sweeten the oats and moisture. Use maple syrup to make it vegan.
Peanut Butter
Peanut butter give flavors your oats and also gives them a creamy texture.
Dark chocolate
When set, dark chocolate has a hard, crisp texture that complements the creamy oat texture.

How to make peanut butter overnight oats without chia seeds?
- In a small bowl or a mug, add oats, peanut butter, honey, and milk.
- Cover it with a plate or lid.
- Mix well and place it in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt dark chocolate for 30 seconds. Stir in intervals to avoid burning the chocolate.

How to make homemade peanut butter:
- If you want to make homemade peanut butter like I do, you want to start by roasting 500 grams of peanuts.
- To roast it, place peanuts on a baking tray and roast it at 200 degrees Centigrade/ 392 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, stirring and checking it every 10 minutes.
- Cool the roasted peanuts.
- In a blender, start blending peanuts. Do not blend it in one go, as the blender will heat up.
- Keep blending, and you will notice that the peanuts go from crunchy bits to dry paste to thick, shiny peanut butter.
- I add a little salt, and that’s it. Homemade peanut butter is ready.
