These creamy Strawberry Peanut Butter Overnight Oats make a delicious, convenient and healthy breakfast – perfect for busy adults and fussy children alike.
STRAWBERRY PEANUT BUTTER OVERNIGHT OATS
It’s been a while since I posted a breakfast recipe so today I am sharing Strawberry Peanut Butter Overnight Oats. Overnight oats are the most convenient breakfast idea I know. Yes, you do have to put all the ingredients together but since it’s done in advance all you have to do in the morning is take off the lid and enjoy it.
You may have noticed that the recipe contains quite a large amount of fresh strawberries. This is because as the oats expand overnight they will inevitably absorb some of the strawberry flavour. Some of the strawberries have been chopped, rather than pureed, so the strawberry flavour really comes through in this recipe.
I have swapped milk for a bit of ricotta cheese, which creates a rich and creamy texture. With a little bit of help from the peanut butter, of course. I used crunchy peanut butter, but you can use smooth if you prefer. The amount of honey you use in this recipe really depends on your individual preference – 1.5 tablespoons is moderately sweet so feel free to use more or less.
The proportions used in this recipe yield 2 portions of these creamy, delicious Strawberry Peanut Butter Overnight Oats – so the recipe is not too calorific despite the peanut butter and the ricotta:).
Enjoy!

Thank you Sarah:)
This looks just perfect ? Monika. I have yet to try overnight oats and this just might be the right way to give it a try!! Thanks for cohosting.
Thank you Zeba! Overnight oats are great as a snack, not just breakfast, my children like them as an after school snack:)
Two words => YES PLEASE!! I just love how pretty these overnight oats are and how delicious they sound AND they are wonderfully healthy to boot – what’s not to like?? 😀 Eb x
Thank you! I’ve started making more overnight oats recently pretending the weather is warmer than it actually is and I need something refreshing in the morning:)
Thank you for co-hosting Monika. Do you think rice milk or another dairy free alternative would work? Love this idea and it is so pretty.
Thanks! Glad you like the recipe:) I am not sure about using rice milk, it might dilute the mixture too much, you need something with the consistency of the ricotta, such as dairy free yogurt perhaps? Ricotta is the only dairy product I used. Hope you find something suitable:)
What a pretty pink your overnight oats have turned with all of those fab strawberries in there. And I love the idea of including some ricotta for the creaminess, great idea Monika,
