Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Base
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 8 tablespoons peanut butter (plus extra for smudging onto the jar)
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Toppings
- 8 tablespoons chia seed jam (plus more for topping)
- Optional: fresh berries and peanuts for garnish
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
- Assemble Jars: When ready to serve, take clean jars and smudge a little peanut butter inside each jar for extra flavor. Layer the overnight oat mixture into the jars by filling about one-third of the jar with oats.
- Add Jam Layer: Spoon 2 tablespoons of chia seed jam on top of the oat layer to create a fruity contrast.
- Finish Oats: Add the remaining overnight oats on top of the jam layer, filling the jar.
- Garnish and Serve: Top the jars with extra chia seed jam, fresh berries, and peanuts if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy your nutritious Peanut Butter and Jelly Overnight Oats.
Notes
- For vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and use a non-dairy milk.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or using honey if preferred.
- Chia seed jam can be homemade or store-bought; you can also substitute with any fruit jam of choice.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash of milk before serving and stir well.
- These oats can keep refrigerated for up to 3 days, making them a great make-ahead breakfast.
