Peanut Butter & Jelly Overnight Oats

Peanut Butter & Jelly Overnight Oats combine rolled oats soaked in almond milk with peanut butter, chia seeds, and optional vanilla protein powder for a creamy, ready-to-eat breakfast. Layered with chia jam or store-bought jam, the oats develop a thick texture overnight, with nutty and fruity flavors that echo the classic sandwich pairing. This dish allows for easy preparation and can be served in jars with a peanut butter topping if desired.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats old fashioned
  • 1 1/2 cups almond milk
  • 1 vanilla protein powder scoop
  • 2 Tablespoons peanut butter plus more for layering
  • 2 teaspoons chia seeds
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1/4 cup chia jam (or store-bought jam)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Make jam: Make a batch of chia jam, if using.
  2. Combine ingredients: In the meantime, put oats, almond milk, peanut butter, chia seeds, protein powder (is using) and sea salt in a bowl and gently stir them together until the protein powder has dissolved. It's okay if the peanut butter is a little clumpy.
  3. Let set: Cover the bowl and put it in the fridge for 3-4 hours, or overnight.
  4. Serve: Once the overnight oats have set up (and absorbed most of the almond milk) you’re ready to serve them. You can simply separate the overnight oats into two containers and use the jam as a topping or create layers with it. 
  5. Layer: To make the layered version simply place 1/2 Tablespoon of peanut butter in the bottom of a jar. Add 1/4 of the overnight oats on top, then 2 Tablespoons of jam and then cover with another 1/4 of the overnight oats. Use remaining ingredients to make a second layered jar. Drizzle more peanut butter on top, if desired and serve.
  6. Store: Overnight oats will keep for up to 5 days in the fridge in a sealed airtight container.

Notes

  • If not using protein powder, substitute with a couple tablespoons of Greek yogurt or omit completely.
  • Homemade chia jam is unsweetened and ideal, but store-bought jam is a suitable alternative.
  • Use any nut or seed butter in place of peanut butter for allergies or preference.
