Instructions

In two separate bowls, combine the oats, chia seeds, maple syrup, and Elmhurst 1925 Almond milk. Each bowl should have ¾ cup oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and ½ cup almond milk.Stir to combine.
In one of the bowls, stir in the vanilla and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Set aside. In the other bowl, stir in the cacao powder. Place each bowl in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, to chill.
Once chilled, spoon a tablespoon of peanut butter into the bottom of two jars. Then add a layer of the chocolate oats followed by a layer of peanut butter oats. Top with dairy-free yogurt and garnish with cacao powder, chocolate shavings, and chopped nuts if desired.

Notes

Storing : One of the many great things about these peanut butter chocolate overnight oats is that they store really easily. Once you've added the layers to a jar, add the lid on top and they will keep fresh in the fridge for about a week!

Type of oats : Rolled oats are best for this recipe. Steel cut oats will not work unless they are cooked beforehand. This kind of takes the "simple and easy" our of the recipe so I don't recommend doing it. Although quick oats will technically work, I found that they don't soak up the liquid as well as rolled oats.
