2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

- Seal the container and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
- In the morning, stir the oats. Add a splash of milk if the mixture is too thick.

Notes
Use rolled oats for the best texture—avoid instant or steel-cut oats.
Make it dairy-free by using almond, oat, or soy milk.
Add yogurt for a creamier texture and more protein.
For a chocolatey twist, stir in 1 tsp cocoa powder.
Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. No reheating needed.
