    This Chocolate Hard Shell PB Overnight Oats is a fun way to enjoy the best meal of the day aka breakfast! It’s high in protein and fiber, so you will be satisfied after having this bowl.

    Fun fact: I made this bowl for my mom (who doesn’t eat oats) and now she can’t stop making it. It’s so easy and quick to make and saves a lot of time in the mornings. Guess who made her love oats… hehe.

    Why I love oatmeal so much…

    I started eating oatmeal since my junior year of University and still haven’t stopped. It’s seriously so addicting. There are many ways to make it, from overnight oats, baked oats, stove-top oats… Here’s why:

    • Love the feeling of satisfaction after a good oatmeal bowl
    • Not hungry for hours
    • High in fiber (and you know… fiber makes you go to the 🚽 aka poop)
    • Healthy and packed with nutrients

    What you’ll need

    The list:

    • Oats – I used rolled oats. They have a chewier texture and soak well overnight without having a mushy consistency. But, feel free to use any type of oats like, quick oats, just add less milk.
    • Unsweetened cacao powder – Why unsweetened? Because you will be adding sweetener later on.
    • Chocolate protein powder – For extra packed protein intake. Replace with more unsweetened cacao powder and sweetener.
    • Liquid sweetener – I used honey. Replace with agave, maple or date syrup. Reduce water if not using honey, you should have a slightly thick consistency on the chocolate ganache.
    • Milk – I used unsweetened almond milk but you can use any other kind of plant-based or dairy milk.
    • Coconut oil – Unrefined or refined coconut oil works! Or use melted butter.
    • Peanut Butter – I used natural peanut butter to avoid any extra oils.

    That’s it! So minimal, simple and delicious!
