Talk about starting the morning off with a bang! These Pbj Overnight Oats take less than 5 minutes to prepare the night before. They are nutritious and delicious!
Ingredients You’ll Need
These Peanut Butter overnight oats are a great meal prep option for busy weeks. Spend a few minutes preparing them in mason jars the night before, and breakfast will be ready to grab and go the next morning!
- Gluten free rolled oats. Regular old fashioned rolled oats work just as well.
- Almond milk. Plant based milks are a great way to keep these oats dairy free, however, any other milk works just the same! Oat milk, regular milk, hemp milk, etc.
- Creamy peanut butter. I always look at the ingredient list and make sure the only ingredients are peanuts and salt. Most grocery stores have it you just have to look!
- Maple syrup. You can also substitute honey.
- Chia seeds.
- Vanilla collagen protein powder. I love Vital Proteins and Ancient Nutrition.
- Jam. For serving. I like Strawberry but use your favorite!
- Banana slices. For serving, optional.
I simply tossed everything (except the jelly) in a large mixing bowl, gave it a big stir, divided each serving size into a mason jar and popped it in the fridge for the night! Yep, it’s that easy.

Are you supposed to eat overnight oats hot or cold?
Honestly, that is completely up to you! I personally like mine a little warm, so I pop it in the microwave for 45-60 seconds before adding my toppings, however, eating them straight outta the fridge is always an option too!
Variations:
- If you aren’t a jelly or jam person, feel free to top with fresh strawberries, blueberries or any other fruit of choice.
- Greek Yogurt can be added for extra creaminess and added protein.
- I have heard coconut milk is an amazing option for overnight oats. I have yet to try, but that is high on my list!
- Although it won’t be PB&J, you could sub a different kind of nut butter depending on what you have on hand and like the most!

*I do not recommend using quick oats for this recipe as it tends to become a bit mushy. I have found that old fashioned rolled oats work best, regular and gluten free.
