These chunky monkey overnight oats are made with peanut butter, chocolate, and nuts are added to oats that have soaked overnight in milk.
This photo was recently featured in feedfeed’s Oatmeal feed! It was a photo taken from my Instagram page of a quick breakfast I made one morning. I love overnight oats, because you take a few minutes the night before to combine a few ingredients together and in the morning you have a healthy and delicious breakfast already made!
I like to jazz my oatmeal up by adding different toppings, like fresh fruit, nut butters, cacao nibs, and chopped nuts. In these overnight oats, I mixed in some fresh banana slices then drizzled on some all natural peanut butter and added a sprinkle of cacao nibs, chia seeds, and sliced almonds, for some crunch. I hadn’t planned on adding this to the blog (hence the lack of pictures), but since the feature, I’ve had many people asking where the recipe was, so here it is! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

I’m so glad you decided to post this recipe! I’m new to overnight oats; I’ve discovered them since having my daughter. She loves oatmeal and I love the idea of making different combos like this! Pinning this to try for both of us.
Thank you so much, Habiba! The thing I love about these oats is that you mix them together the night before and they are all ready to go in the morning! I hope your daughter loves them as much as my children do! And thanks so much for pinning! I really appreciate it! 🙂
How did you get your oats so high? Piled up bananas?
Hi, Justice! Yes, there’s a big pile of bananas on the oats in the photo. I love bananas, so I pile them on! 🙂
I am ALL about this recipe! So excited to try this out for myself!
