These vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats are perfect for traveling. They fill you up for hours and they are portable.
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 Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats for my breakfast. It was the first time that I packed an 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.

I love how easy to make and filling overnight oats are. I wasn’t hungry for hours.
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.

Peanut butter and chocolate for breakfast?? Um, yes please! I like how convenient this is — I often skip breakfast because I’m in such a hurry to get to work. Love that this can be prepped the night before! 🙂
Willow Moon says
It’s perfect for a grab and go meal!

I love making my own things from scratch. And I love oats, muesli and granola. I am going to have to add this one to my repertoire.
Willow Moon says
I do too! I have been having fun baking my own granola with flavors I love.

Sounds 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!!
Willow Moon says
You could always heat it up. I bet it would taste great hot too!
Sarah and Laura @ Wandercooks says
Overnight oats are the BOMB. Especially when you’ve got a full day ahead and don’t have time for prep – only eat and run!
Tonia Ollerton says
My 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!
Willow Moon says
I am so glad that you like it! Cheers!

A 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!
Willow Moon says
Banana would definitely be a great addition! I use it in my morning smoothie so that it is sugar free.
