02 - Add 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter to the mixture and gently swirl it through, creating a marbled effect without fully incorporating. This creates pockets of peanut butter.
03 - Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
04 - In the morning, stir the chilled oats. If a thinner consistency is desired, add a splash of milk. Spoon into serving bowls.
