Why you'll love this recipe
Childhood favourite. Enjoy the nostalgic flavours of PB&J overnight oatmeal, bringing back memories of the classic flavour.
Salty and sweet. The perfect balance of creamy peanut butter and fruity jam makes each bite of PBJ overnight oats a delightful mix of flavours.
Meal prep. These PB & J overnight oats are easy to prepare ahead of time, making busy mornings stress-free with oats in a jar, just like the biscoff overnight oats.
Chia jam. Instead of homemade purchased jelly (or jam), I decided to make my own homemade raspberry chia jam. This decreases the added sugars into the breakfast meal prep, plus adds fibre and protein from the chia seeds.
Meal prep and leftovers
Preparing PBJ overnight oats for meal prep is a breeze. Simply layer the oats, peanut butter, and jam (or raspberry chia jam) in jars, then refrigerate overnight. This easy process allows you to have a nutritious and delicious breakfast ready to grab and go throughout the week. For variety, you can switch up the types of jam or add fresh fruits on top before serving.
Store overnight oats in a jar (airtight) for 4-5 days before eating cold, or reheating with a bit of liquid for a warm oats.
If you're storing the chia jam, this can be done in an airtight jar for up to 1-2 weeks.
