These vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats are perfect for traveling. They fill you up for hours and they are portable.
Perfect For Traveling
I just got back from seeing a concert out of town. As usual, I packed food for myself, in case there wasn’t much available for someone on a gluten free vegan diet.
I packed this vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats in a jar for my breakfast. It was the first time that I packed overnight oats. Usually, I bring a protein bar or smoothie. After having overnight oats, I decided it would be my new go-to breakfast for traveling.
Since this recipe, I made a Mocha Almond Overnight Oats, which is great because you get your breakfast and coffee all in one! It is easy to make in a hotel room. You just bring the dry ingredients, and add the complimentary coffee.
Easy and Filling
I love how easy to make and filling overnight oats are. I wasn’t hungry for hours after eating this.
That is important when you are on a road trip. Many times I fill up on home fries and / or a fruit bowl at a restaurant. Then, I crash an hour or two later. Talk about carb overload!
Even with my protein packed smoothies, I am usually hungry a couple of hours later. Not with this. I added chia seeds for even more protein and fiber. Maybe I need to start adding chia seeds to my smoothies…
For photo purposes, I made this in a 12 oz. jar, then transferred it to an 8 oz. mason jar. I don’t recommend making it in an 8 oz. jar, because it is a bit too crowded for this, and makes stirring difficult.
If you like chocolate and peanut butter as much as I do, you will love this. You can swap out the cacao powder for cocoa powder, if you need to.
I personally love cacao powder and cacao nibs because they are so good for you. Cacao nibs are more bitter than dark chocolate, but added to an overnight oats like this, they blend in nicely.

February 20, 2016 at 10:52 pmSounds lovely! I have yet to try the phenomenon that is overnight oats. There’s something about ice cold porridge which doesn’t appeal to me – I mean, if I’m going to eat all those carbs they might as well be hot, right? Still.. I am very tempted by your recipe!!

June 9, 2017 at 8:38 pmMy new favorite breakfast especially now that it’s so hot here in Texas that I don’t want to turn on a stove burner even early in the morning. So tasty and I like that it’s so good for me!

September 8, 2017 at 1:54 pmA great recipe! This has been pinned.
It’s tasty, it’s easy & it eliminates excuses for skipping breakfast in the morning. Also, it can work with that new “PB Powder” stuff to save on calories if you add a little more liquid. A ‘no sugar added’ version can also be done if a banana is blended in with the milk before using it to soak the oatmeal as it’s so naturally sweet…but also gets along well with chocolate & PB. Overnight oats are always such a winner!
