Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
This peanut butter overnight oats is totally indulgent for breakfast. I added in a spoonful of creamy peanut butter into the basic overnight oats recipe. They gave pretty swirls of peanut butter in the milky oats, so that you can enjoy chunks of peanut butter amidst the naturally-flavoured oats.

The oats are topped with another scoop of peanut butter, raspberries, banana and roasted peanuts.
This is the peanut butter I used. At first I bought it because it looked photogenic, came in a glass bottle and is all-natural with no added sugar. It turned out to have a smooth, semi-runny consistency which made it easy to mix into the oats, unlike some types of peanut butter which has a drier consistency. You can use any favourite brand of peanut butter for this recipe. If your overnight oats turned out dry after adding the peanut butter, just add some milk to loosen them up.

As you dig into the oats, enjoy streaks of creamy peanut butter amidst the milky oats. You can also stir in both tablespoons of peanut butter until well blended, if preferred.
