    This peanut butter and jelly overnight oats recipe is another overnight oats variation that I love to make! Overnight oats are my favorite weekday breakfast, as they can be prepared in advance in just 5 minutes. Plus, they are super healthy, taste great, and keep you full for a long time. They are absolutely amazing and I recommend making them, especially if you don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen preparing breakfast!

    Ingredients

    To make these peanut butter and jelly overnight oats, you’ll need the following ingredients:

    • Old-fashioned rolled oats. Don’t substitute rolled oats with instant oats or quick oats! Rolled oats are perfect for overnight oats, as they become soft and creamy, but still have texture. Always use rolled oats.
    • Chia seeds. Chia seeds are an amazing source of fiber and help to thicken the overnight oats.
    • Natural peanut butter. Use your favorite brand of natural peanut butter to make delicious peanut butter and jelly overnight oats.
    • Maple syrup. I either use maple syrup or honey as a sweetener. But you can use any other sweetener!
    • Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt makes the overnight oats creamy and gives an amazing protein boost.
    • (Plant-based) milk. I love to use almond milk but go for the type of milk you like to use.
    • Homemade chia seed jam. Store-bought jam is often high in sugar, so I like to make homemade raspberry chia jam. It only takes 10 minutes and tastes great. But if there is another healthy jam alternative you love, feel free to use it!
    • Fresh fruit. Depending on the kind of jam I am using, I love to add fresh blueberries or raspberries to my peanut butter and jelly overnight oats.
