Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 3 scoops vanilla protein powder 2-3 scoops, depends on your taste preference and the brand
  • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter plus more for serving (or any nut/seed butter of your liking)
  • 3 tablespoons raspberry jelly plus more for serving
  • Fresh raspberries for garnish

Instructions

  • Add the oats, milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, protein powder, and peanut butter to a sealable mixing bowl or individual overnight oats containers. Stir well to combine. Place the lid on and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight to set.

  • In the morning, add more milk as needed to get your desired consistency.
  • Top each jar of oats with a dollop of peanut butter and jelly. Stir the peanut butter and jelly into the oats and garnish with fresh raspberries. Serve immediately.
    Fresh raspberries, 3 tablespoons raspberry jelly

Notes

Pro tips:
  1. Microwave the peanut butter in 30-second intervals until it’s pourable when you’re about to serve the overnight oats. This makes it much easier to stir into the oats.
  2. Stirring the peanut butter and jelly in before serving is optional. You can layer the two on top of the oats before serving and it will naturally stir into the oats as you eat it.
  3. Can you eat overnight oats hot? They are best served cold, but you can certainly heat them in the microwave. I would start with 30-second intervals until warm.
Substitutions
  1. Rolled oats are best for this recipe, they soak up the liquid giving the oats a creamy texture.
  2. If you do not want to use protein powder simply replace it with plain Greek yogurt. I would start with 2 tablespoons of yogurt and continue to your liking.
  3. Any vanilla-flavored protein powder will work. I haven’t tried unflavored protein powder but I imagine it would be just as delicious but not quite as sweet.
  4. Any flavor of jelly/jam works in this recipe - grape, strawberry, raspberry, blackberry.
Storage Times
  1. They will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 4 days. Keep in a sealed container.
  2. Although they are called overnight oats, they do not need to soak for that long. If you’re in a pinch, I recommend a chill time of at least 2 hours before eating.
