Happy October!
Or should we say, #Oatober?!
As members of Peanut Butter & Company‘s Yum Squad, we were presented with the challenge to come up with a delicious recipe that features both peanut butter and Bob’s Red Mill’s Organic Old Fashioned Rolled Oats.
Oh the possibilities are endless!

But in fall, we move toward seasonal fruits – apples, pears, and pomegranates – and use them as the star players in many of our recipes.
Breakfast is Queen!
As lovers of all things breakfast, our inspiration for this recipe came from our Much Ado About Muesli recipe from our cookbook, “No Excuses! 50 Healthy Ways to ROCK Breakfast!”
Muesli is a version of overnight oats. Search the term “overnight oats” in your search engine and you will come up with hundreds of recipes.
We’re sure that most of them taste pretty good. But of course, we like ours best 
The beauty of overnight oats is that you can make a bunch of them at once and have them ready to eat for the whole week! There’s no excuse NOT to eat breakfast! As the oats sit in the peanut butter and almond milk overnight, they absorb the liquid and get nice and soft and chewy.
Our overnight oats are this season’s new comfort food.
When you eat it, you will feel the warmth of the cinnamon fill your body with joy. The textures of the creamy peanut butter contrasting with the crunchy chia seeds will intrigue your mind. And the sweetness of the sauteed cinnamon apples will make your spirit sing.
And then you will say, “Thank you, may I please have another”
Sure thing. Keep ’em coming!
