These PB&J Overnight Oats are full of creamy Peanut Butter and Chia Jam. A hearty, filling, and a great way to enjoy the classic sandwich…for breakfast!

Ingredients

Scale

Note: double, triple, or quadruple the recipe for multiple servings!

  • 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter, plus more for topping
  • 3/4 cup dairy-free milk (or sub water)
  • 1/2 cup quick-cooking or rolled oats*
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (Optional; add more to taste)
  • 2+ tablespoons Chia Seed Jam  (or sub store-bought)

Instructions

  1. Peanut “Milk”: Add the peanut butter to a medium bowl with a small amount of the milk. Use a whisk to “blend” the peanut butter with the liquid, and gradually add the remaining milk while whisking until a smooth, peanut butter “milk” forms. (Note: an electric frother works well for this!)
  2. Dry Ingredients: Add the oats, chia seeds, and maple syrup to the bowl. Mix well and let sit for 5 or so minutes, so the oats can absorb some of the moisture.
  3. Layer: Scoop half of the oatmeal into the bottom of a glass jar or tupperware, then layer with jam. Pour the remaining oatmeal over top of the jam, and top as desired. I like to keep things simple with more PB and jam!
  4. Serve & Store: Let sit for another 5 minutes and enjoy immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. 

Notes

  • Oats: Use gluten-free oats if necessary. You can use any “variety” of oats other than steel-cut oatmeal for this recipe.
  • Nut Butter: Feel free to sub the peanut butter with another nut or seed butter – keep in mind that whatever you choose will affect the flavor.
