    5. After 6 hours remove the Peanut Butter Overnight Oats from the refrigerator and garnish with sliced strawberries, apples, or bananas if desired. Or extra peanut butter and chocolate chips.

    Hint: Make sure to push the oats down in the peanut butter milk liquid so they soak up the liquid. Cover the container with a lid before placing the refrigerator.
