These PB&J overnight oats are a quick, easy, and filling breakfast that pack a punch of flavor! The best part? There’s no cooking in the morning, because you make these the night before. Keep scrolling for the recipe.
If you aren’t familiar with overnight oats, then you’re in for quite the treat. It’s one of my go-to breakfasts because it’s delicious, filling, and so convenient because you can make it the night before. There are so many variation options, but this PB&J Overnight Oats recipe is one of my favorites. It manages to perfectly encapsulate the flavor of those PB&J sandwiches we all had growing up.
Ingredient breakdown of PB&J Overnight Oats:
So, there are a few different ingredients that go into this recipe. Each one serves a key purpose. So, here’s a breakdown of some of the key ingredients:
Oats: you can use regular rolled oats or quick oats, but I prefer regular. They are heartier than quick oats, and so they stay chewy (quick oats can get mushy). They are also more nutritious since they aren’t as processed.
Greek yogurt: I prefer to use plain (unflavored) full fat Greek yogurt, and my favorite brand is Fage. This makes the overnight oats super creamy and filling as it is a great combo of protein and fats.
Jam/jelly: I like to use organic berry preserves with minimal ingredients and no added sugar.
Hemp seeds: an optional ingredient, but a great source of protein and omega 3 and 6 fats.
Ground flaxseed: rich in nutrients and fiber, source of omega 3 fats. My favorite brand is Bob’s Red Mill.
