Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine the ingredients in a mason jar or mixing bowl: oats, milk, peanut butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, and chia seeds if using. Stir until well combined.
  2. Mix thoroughly to ensure no clumps of peanut butter or cocoa powder remain, ensuring the mixture is thick and smooth.
  3. Refrigerate overnight, covered, for at least 4-6 hours to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.
