Suggestions for Ingredient Substitution

For a gluten-free option, replace traditional oats with certified gluten-free oats or quinoa flakes. These alternatives provide similar texture and nutritional benefits. Yogurt can be substituted with dairy-free alternatives like coconut yogurt or silken tofu for those avoiding dairy. These options maintain the creamy consistency while offering different flavor profiles. Plant-based milks such as almond, oat, or soy milk can replace regular milk, accommodating lactose-intolerant or vegan diets. Adjust the amount slightly, as plant milks may have different consistencies. For those with nut allergies or seeking a different flavor, sunflower seed butter powder can replace peanut butter powder. It offers a similar protein boost and nutty taste. When making these substitutions, consider adjusting sweetness levels and soaking times as needed to achieve the desired texture and flavor.

Step 1: Prepare Ingredients

Start by gathering all necessary ingredients: oats, yogurt, milk, your choice of fruit, seeds, and peanut butter powder.

Having everything ready will make the mixing process smooth and efficient.

Step 2: Combine Oats and Yogurt

In a bowl or jar, combine the oats with yogurt.

This forms the base of your overnight oats and gives it a creamy texture.

Step 3: Add Liquid and Fruit

Pour in the desired amount of milk into the oats and yogurt mixture.

Stir in your choice of fruit, such as berries, banana slices, or chopped apples, to add sweetness and flavor.

Step 4: Incorporate Seeds and Peanut Butter Powder

Sprinkle in seeds, like chia or flax seeds, for added texture and nutritional benefits.

Add peanut butter powder to taste, giving your oats a nutty, protein-rich boost.

Step 5: Mix and Refrigerate

Thoroughly mix all the ingredients until everything is well combined.

Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate it overnight.

This resting period allows the oats to absorb the flavors and soften up.

Step 6: Final Stir and Serve

In the morning, give your oats a good stir to ensure everything is evenly mixed.

Then, enjoy your quick and nutritious breakfast straight from the bowl or jar!
