This Peanut Butter and Jelly Overnight Oats recipe offers a delicious and nutritious twist on a classic flavor combination, perfect for a quick and easy make-ahead breakfast. Rolled oats soak overnight with chia seeds, vanilla yogurt, maple syrup, and milk to create a creamy base that’s layered with rich peanut butter and sugar-free raspberry preserves for a perfect balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

Oats Base

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup vanilla yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 1/4 cups milk of choice

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free raspberry preserve
  • Fresh raspberries (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, vanilla yogurt, maple syrup, and milk. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated and the oats are evenly soaked.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften to a creamy texture.
  3. Layer the Oats: Divide half of the soaked oat mixture evenly among four serving cups or jars. This forms the first layer of your overnight oats.
  4. Add Toppings: Drizzle each cup with a portion of the peanut butter and sugar-free raspberry preserve. Add a few fresh raspberries on top for extra freshness and visual appeal.
  5. Repeat Layers: Spoon the remaining oat mixture over the toppings in each cup, creating a layered effect of oats and peanut butter-jelly goodness. Optionally, add more peanut butter and preserves on top before serving.

Notes

  • Use any type of milk you prefer—dairy or plant-based—to suit your dietary needs.
  • For a thicker texture, use Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave nectar.
  • Adding fresh raspberries enhances the flavor and adds a natural sweetness.
  • This recipe is perfect for meal prepping; store overnight oats covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Use sugar-free preserves to reduce sugar content and make it diabetic-friendly.
