PB and J Overnight Oatmeal Recipe

This PB and J overnight oatmeal is one recipe that has become a staple in my temporary home, as it literally takes 5 minutes to make and no cooking is required!

This recipe is pretty straight forward. It doesn’t get much easier, and you can flavor it just about any way you want! I’ve decided to share a PB and J version with you today because it is literally my favorite way to eat overnight oatmeal. Almond butter and assorted jams are great alternatives to liven things up!

HOW TO MAKE EASY OVERNIGHT OATMEAL

It all starts with regular quick-cooking oats. I like to combine them with chia seeds, sliced almonds (usually of the salted variety) and whatever fruit I have on hand at the time. In this case, I went with grapes because they hold up really well. I sweeten up the oats with just a little bit of honeyif I’m not using sweetened almond milk, but this is totally based on personal preference.

Whisk these ingredients together and then pour in the vanilla almond milk. Give it a very good stir and then cover as tightly as possible. Refrigerate, and boom, that’s literally all. The oats soak overnight, taking on an oatmeal-like consistency without having to cook them. It is literally the best thing ever. Top with your desired toppings and there you have it!

WHAT TO SERVE WITH OVERNIGHT OATS

Oats are so good for you. They are the perfect way to start your day as they contain a good deal of protein and a ton of fiber. Oats are my favorite way to enjoy breakfast as they make me feel full until lunchtime, which keeps the snacking to a minimum! Here are a few additional serving options:

• strawberries
• bananas
• cranberries
• cinnamon and brown sugar
• apples and cinnamon
• and of course, peanut butter and jelly
