There is no denying that peanut butter is a lot of people’s favorite. Its nutritional content is impressive: high in protein, potassium, fiber, healthy fats, and magnesium, among others. Plus let’s face it, it tastes really good especially when combined with other delicious ingredients
We are featuring peanut butter as a key ingredient in this overnight oats recipe, particularly the salted and creamy variety. If you prefer your overnight oats to be a little crunchy, you may opt for the chunky peanut variety instead.
Feel free to make changes to the rest of the ingredients. But in this recipe, we are using cashew milk, which you can easily replace with any vegan milk alternative you prefer. We are topping our overnight oats with bananas and raspberries, because they’re delicious and add a colorful touch to the mixture, but again, any fruit toppings will do.
