Peanut butter and jelly overnight oats combine creamy peanut butter with sweet, fruity jam for a nostalgic breakfast treat. I also added my homemade chia jam to these for that extra boost of fibre (and deliciousness).
TL;DR
- Prep time: 5 minutes Resting time: 4 hours
- Meal prep: Stores for 5 days in the fridge. Give it a mix before eating to combine all the flavours!
- Reheating: Add a drizzle of liquid and reheat on 1 minute intervals for a porridge feel.
- Customise: Use any jam you like, or even just some berries!

Why you'll love this recipe
Salty and sweet. The perfect balance of creamy peanut butter and fruity jam - similar to my biscoff raspberry overnight oats.

Peanut butter. If you're like me and could eat spoonfuls of peanut butter, you'll love this recipe - plus these: peanut butter chocolate baked oats and peanut butter chocolate cookies.
Ingredients and substitutions
Rolled Oats. These are recommended for texture purposes. You can try quick oats or steel cut, but the texture will be different and you might need to adjust the liquid.
Chia jam. I use a homemade chia jam because I usually add chia seeds to the overnight oats to help with the texture.
You can use regular jam or even berries, but I do recommend adding chia seeds to the actual overnight oats if this is the case.
Peanut butter. Pick a good quality peanut butter (where the ingredients are just peanuts and salt) as this will be best for health purposes (although, you do you).
Yogurt and milk. You can use a dairy or dairy-free version. Pick what suits you. I actually use a berry-flavoured yogurt for this one to help with the overall sweetness (because I don't put sugar in my homemade jam).
Please check the recipe card for full list of ingredients and quantity.
My Top Tip
If you don't want to make the chia jam like I do, just add berries and some chia seeds to a bowl, mash it up and add it directly into the overnight oats mixture.
Meal prepping overnight oats
Preparing PBJ overnight oats for your breakfast meal prep is perfect for a nostalgia breakfast.
You can layer the oats, peanut butter and jam (like my photo) or just mix it all up
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.
