PB&J Overnight Oats
Wake up to PB&J Overnight Oats! A creamy, protein-packed, make-ahead breakfast that’s easy to prep and bursting with nostalgic flavor. 🥜🍓
Equipment
- Mason Jar
Ingredients
Overnight Oats Base
- ½ cup rolled oats for the best texture
- ½ cup milk almond, oat, dairy, or any preferred type
- 2 tbsp peanut butter creamy or chunky
- 1 tbsp chia seeds for extra fiber and thickness
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup adjust based on sweetness preference
- ¼ cup fruit jam or homemade chia jam
- ½ tsp vanilla extract for a hint of warmth
Optional Toppings
- Fresh berries
- Chopped nuts
- Extra drizzle of peanut butter
Instructions
- Mix the Base – In a jar or airtight container, combine the oats, milk, peanut butter, chia seeds, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- Layer the Jam – Add the fruit jam on top of the oat mixture. You can swirl it in slightly or leave it as a layer to mix in later.
- Refrigerate Overnight – Cover the jar and place it in the fridge for at least 6 hours (overnight works best) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Stir & Enjoy! – In the morning, give it a good stir. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk. Enjoy it straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl and add your favorite toppings!
