These Peanut Butter & Jelly Overnight Oats are a wholesome, protein-packed twist on a childhood favorite. Layered with creamy oats, rich peanut butter, and sweet berry chia jam, it’s a fiber-rich, make-ahead breakfast perfect for busy mornings.
For the oats:
1 cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
Pinch of salt
For the berry chia jam:
1/2 cup frozen or fresh mixed berries
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
For layering:
1/4 cup natural peanut butter
Fresh raspberries or berries, for topping
In a bowl, mix oats, chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla, maple syrup (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
Meanwhile, prepare the berry chia jam: In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook the berries until they begin to break down, about 5 minutes. Mash with a fork, stir in chia seeds and maple syrup, and let cool to thicken.
To assemble, layer the oats, a spoonful of berry chia jam, and a drizzle of peanut butter in jars or containers.
Repeat layers if desired and top with fresh raspberries or berries before serving.
Use any combination of berries for the chia jam—strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries all work well.
Adjust the sweetness to taste by increasing or skipping the maple syrup.
Great for meal prep—store in the fridge for up to 3 days in airtight containers.
