If you are stuck between craving a Reese's Cup and an Oreo for breakfast, these Reese's Oreo Overnight Oats are the ultimate solution. By using peanut butter powder instead of traditional oils, we've managed to capture that rich, nutty flavor while keeping the fat content significantly lower than a standard candy-flavored breakfast.
This recipe is built for the morning hustle. If you are a fan of this high-volume oat strategy, you have to try my Chocolate Tiramisu Protein Overnight Oats or my Birthday Cake Overnight Oats for more dessert-for-breakfast wins.
Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Nostalgic Flavor: Combines the salty-sweet profile of Reese's with the iconic crunch of an Oreo.
- Low-Fat Peanut Butter: Using PB2 or PB Fit allows you to get that peanut butter hit for a fraction of the calories.
- Perfect Texture: The oats absorb the almond milk and peanut powder to create a thick, cookie-dough-like consistency.
- True Meal Prep: Takes 2 minutes to assemble at night and is ready to grab the second you wake up.
The “PB-Hydration” Methodology
The secret to the creaminess in this bowl is the Powder-to-Milk Ratio. Peanut butter powder is highly absorbent; when mixed with unsweetened almond milk and rolled oats, it creates a thick suspension. As it sits overnight, the oats undergo “cold-cooking,” softening into a creamy base while the peanut powder provides a savory depth that balances the sweetness of the monk fruit.
Key Equipment Focus: Why Quality Matters
- Digital Kitchen Scale: Essential for measuring the 40g of oats and 24g of PB powder. Volumetric scoops of powder vary wildly, and even an extra 10g of oats can make the final result too dry.
- Beast Blender: While not required for mixing, I use my Beast Blender to pulse the Reese's Oreo into “crumb dust.” This ensures you get a hit of Oreo in every single spoonful rather than just a few big chunks.

- Silicone Spatula Set: Perfect for scraping down the sides of your jar to ensure all the peanut butter powder is fully incorporated into the liquid.
Ingredients & Instructions
- ½ cup (40g) Rolled Oats
- ¼ cup (24g) Peanut Butter Powder (PB2 or PB Fit)
- ½ cup (120ml) Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1 tbsp (8g) Monk fruit sweetener
- 1 Reese's Oreo (crushed for topping)
- Combine: In a jar or airtight container, whisk together the oats, peanut butter powder, milk, and sweetener.
- Hydrate: Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best).
- Finish: Just before eating, crush the Reese's Oreo and sprinkle it on top. Adding it at the end ensures the cookie stays crunchy!
Troubleshooting & FAQs
- Why are my oats too thick? Peanut butter powders vary. If the oats are too “stiff” in the morning, simply stir in an extra splash of almond milk.
- Can I use Quick Oats? Yes, but the texture will be much softer and “mushier.” Rolled oats are superior for that chewy, satisfying texture.
- Storage: These stay fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days, making them perfect for a mid-week prep.
