Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1/4 cup jelly or jam of choice
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and chia seeds, stirring them together to ensure even distribution.
- Pour the almond milk into the oat mixture, whisking gently to prevent any dry clumps from forming.
- Add the peanut butter and maple syrup (if using) to the bowl, stirring thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and smooth.
- Take two clean glass jars or containers with tight-fitting lids, and begin layering the mixture.
- Divide the oat mixture evenly between the two containers, leaving some space at the top for the jelly layer.
- Carefully spoon the jelly or jam on top of the oat mixture, creating a distinct layer.
- Seal the containers with their lids and place in the refrigerator to chill overnight, or for at least 6-8 hours.
- Before serving, give the overnight oats a gentle stir to mix the layers and ensure a consistent texture.
- Optional: Top with additional peanut butter, fresh berries, or chopped nuts for extra flavor and crunch.
Tips
- Choose the right oats: Always use rolled oats, not quick oats or steel-cut, for the best texture.
- Milk matters: Almond milk works great, but feel free to experiment with other plant-based milks like oat or soy.
- Layering is key: Create beautiful layers by carefully spooning jelly on top for an Instagram-worthy breakfast.
- Customize your toppings: Add fresh berries, sliced almonds, or a drizzle of extra maple syrup for personal flair.
- Prep ahead: These overnight oats can be made up to 3-4 days in advance, making meal planning a breeze.
- Temperature tip: Always refrigerate immediately after preparing to ensure food safety and perfect consistency.
