Ingredients
Overnight Oats
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt
- 2 cups fat-free milk
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
Raspberry Sauce
- 6 ounces fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon honey (divided; 2 teaspoons for sauce)
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- Prepare Peanut Butter Yogurt Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine ¼ cup creamy peanut butter and 1 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt. Whisk in 2 cups fat-free milk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Assemble Overnight Oats: Divide 2 cups old-fashioned oats equally by placing ½ cup into each of four containers. Top each with the peanut butter-yogurt mixture and stir gently to combine the ingredients evenly within each container. Cover securely and refrigerate overnight to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
- Cook Raspberry Sauce: Place 6 ounces of fresh raspberries, 2 teaspoons of honey, and ¼ cup water into a small saucepan. Warm this mixture over medium-high heat, breaking apart the raspberries with a spoon as they cook. Stir continuously and simmer for about five minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your liking.
- Finish Sauce: If you prefer a smooth raspberry sauce, puree it using a blender or immersion blender; alternatively, leave it chunky for texture. Transfer the sauce to a container, allow it to cool completely, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Serve: The next morning, remove the overnight oats from the refrigerator and top each serving with the chilled raspberry sauce. The oats and sauce can be stored together in the fridge for up to four days.
Notes
- Use creamy or natural peanut butter according to preference for different textures and flavors.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more honey to the raspberry sauce if desired.
- For a smoother sauce, strain seeds after pureeing if preferred.
- Overnight oats can be customized with additional toppings like nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit before serving.
- Ensure containers are airtight to maintain freshness for up to four days.
