If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know how much I love overnight oats (check out my other overnight oats recipes here and here). I love overnight oats because prepping them the night before saves time in the morning, which means more sleep and therefore, more happiness. I also love eating overnight oats during the summer because I eat mine cold and its makes for the perfect summer breakfast. I decided to add peanut butter and jam to my oats a few days ago and I think I'm officially in love with this combo. To add some extra nutrition (fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals), I also added blueberries, strawberries and a few cherries. Here's the how-to on creating a delicious PB and J oat-filled breakfast.
Peanut Butter and Jam Overnight Oats
Ingredients (serves 1-2):
- ¾ cup rolled oats, use gluten free oats if you're following a GF diet
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, add a little more liquid for less thick oats
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp. natural peanut butter
- 4 cherries, pitted, and sliced
- ¼ cup blueberries
- 5 strawberries
- 1 tbsp. of your favorite jam or preserves
To Prep (do this the night before you plan on eating the oats)
- Measure all ingredients
- In a bowl or mason jar, mix together oats, vanilla extract, almond milk, and stir in peanut butter
- Add the layer of fruit
- Refrigerate for about 8 hours or longer
- Top with your favorite jam or preserves and enjoy (no need to heat)
I hope you love these oats as much as I do. If you love this recipe, follow me on instagram @vitaminvalentine for more delicious food creations.
