PB & J Overnight Oats
There’s something so nostalgic about a good peanut butter & jelly sandwich- it’s simple, comforting, and always hits the spot. This recipe takes that same classic combo and turns it into a nourishing, glow-from-within breakfast that you can prep the night before. It’s a delicious nourishing breakfast that you can actually look forward to eating.
Perfect for busy mornings, this PB & J Overnight Oats recipe is packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats to keep you full and energized all morning long.
What You’ll Need (serves 2):
For the oats:
1 cup rolled oats
1 ½ tbsp chia seeds
2 tbsp hemp seeds
1–2 tbsp pure maple syrup (adjust sweetness to your liking)
½ serving of vanilla protein powder or collagen
1 ⅓ cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
⅓ cup peanut butter or almond butter (single ingredient works best) (plus extra for serving)
For the raspberry jam (makes 8 servings):
1 (10 oz) package frozen raspberries
Juice of 1 lemon
Directions:
In a small saucepan, add the frozen raspberries and lemon juice. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and let it bubble away for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down into a thick, jam-like consistency. Meanwhile prep the overnight oats but combining the oats, chia seeds, hempseed, maple, protein, milk and nut nutter in a glass jar or container. Whisk until smooth. Cover and store in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight. When it is time to serve add a little peanut butter to 2 jars. Add half a serving of oats to each jar. Add a layer of jam on top. Then add the remaining oats on top. Enjoy!
Store in the fridge for up for 4 days.
Tips & Glow Hacks
Switch up the nut butter: Try cashew butter for a milder flavor or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
Boost the protein: Add a full scoop of protein powder if you want this to keep you fueled through a longer morning.
Make it kid-friendly: Use honey instead of maple syrup (if serving to kids over 1) and layer it in smaller jars for grab-and-go snacks.
Batch prep: Double or triple the recipe to have breakfast ready for a few days. (A great tip if you are making the more for than yourself)
