Ingredients Needed For PB2 Overnight Oats
- Rolled Oats: Use old-fashioned rolled oats to make overnight oats. They won’t work with steel-cut or quick oats.

- Powdered Peanut Butter: Use PB2 or your favorite powdered peanut butter.
- Sweetener: Sweeten these overnight oats with your sweetener of choice.
- Salt: Just a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
- Chia Seeds: We love adding chia seeds to our overnight oats because they are a source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. You can omit the chia seeds if you don’t want to add them.
