Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oaties

By Sammi Brondo — July 29, 2024

If you love my Banana Chocolate Chip Oaties, I guarantee you’re going to love these. They’re basically the same thing, but swap the banana for peanut butter (plus a few other ingredients). What’s not to love?!

If you’re not familiar with them, my Banana Oaties are a delicious 3-ingredient snack made from just bananas, oats and chocolate chips. If you haven’t tried them yet – inserting a shameless plug to try them ASAP.

Believe it or not, I was asked a few times about how to make the banana oaties without banana. Which would be difficult, to say the least, because bananas are literally one-third of the recipe.

So, instead of somehow trying to make those without banana, I wanted to create a different version. But add peanut butter. Because peanut butter + chocolate is truly never a bad idea.

These oaties have 5 main ingredients: oats, peanut butter, maple syrup, egg and chocolate chip. Because we’re not using banana, the egg helps to bind the batter together. Plus, I love the additional protein that it adds! The peanut butter also some satiating dietary fat and protein, making this a pretty nutrient dense and filling snack.

Maple syrup is also added to these for some necessary sweetness, since the banana is omitted. I wouldn’t recommend not using maple syrup. It makes the oaties just sweet enough, but not overly sweet at all.

These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oaties make a perfect snack, dessert or even breakfast. I love them on their own, added to a yogurt bowl, or even with some more peanut butter. I’m so excited for you to try them!

Notes

  • Eggs: I haven’t tried these with flax eggs, although I think they should work! Just make sure the batter holds together well enough before cooked to ensure that the oaties will stay formed once they’re baked.
  • Peanut butter: Any type of peanut butter works here. I used crunchy because it was all I had on hand, but creamy would be even better. If you’re using a thinner, natural peanut butter (I used Jif), you may need to add more oats to make the batter thick enough. For a nut free version, swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter.
  • Maple syrup: The maple syrup adds sweetness to this recipe. If needed, honey can be swapped 1:1. It may change the taste slightly, but will still taste good.
  • Oats: I used quick cooking oats. Any type of regular oats will work, but make sure to avoid steel cut oats, as the texture won’t work well in this recipe.
  • Chocolate chips: Feel free to add more or less! Other mix-ins would also be fun here, like chopped walnuts or raisins.
  • Storage: Store these in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. You can also freeze them for up to 1 month.
