Description
A simple and nutritious recipe for Peanut Butter and Jelly Overnight Oats that combines creamy peanut butter, sweet jelly, and hearty oats for a delicious make-ahead breakfast. Perfect for busy mornings, these oats soak overnight to develop a creamy texture, and can be customized with your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned oatmeal
- 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 cups milk
Flavoring
- 1/4 cup peanut butter (crunchy or creamy)
- 1/4 cup jelly (any kind)
Optional Toppings
- Additional peanut butter and jelly
- Granola
- Banana slices
- Other fruit
Instructions
- Combine the base. In four 8-ounce mason jars, combine the oatmeal, chia seeds, and milk. Stir well to combine, ensuring the oats and chia seeds are evenly soaked in the milk.
- Add peanut butter and jelly. Spoon the peanut butter and jelly on top of the oat mixture, spreading gently to incorporate or leaving as layers for a marbled effect.
- Chill. Seal the jars with lids and place them in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least two hours, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the milk and flavors.
- Eat. Enjoy the overnight oats cold straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl. Top with extra peanut butter, jelly, granola, banana slices, or your preferred fruits for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use any type of milk you prefer, including dairy or plant-based alternatives.
- Old fashioned oats work best to give a creamy but slightly chewy texture; avoid instant oats as they get too mushy.
- Adjust the amount of peanut butter and jelly to suit your taste preferences.
- Make a larger batch and store in the fridge for up to 3 days for quick breakfasts.
- Add nuts or seeds for extra crunch and nutrition if desired.
