Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons jelly or jam
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh fruit for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, peanut butter, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are completely blended and no dry oats remain visible.
- Take two clean glass jars or containers with tight-fitting lids. Divide the oat mixture evenly between the two containers, ensuring equal distribution.
- Using a spoon, gently swirl the jelly or jam into each container, creating a marbled effect throughout the oat mixture. Do not fully mix to maintain visual appeal.
- Secure the lids on the containers and place them in the refrigerator. Allow the oats to sit and absorb liquid overnight, which typically takes 6-8 hours.
- In the morning, remove the overnight oats from the refrigerator. If the mixture seems too thick, stir in a little additional almond milk to reach desired consistency.
- Optional: Top each serving with fresh sliced fruits like bananas, strawberries, or blueberries to enhance flavor and nutrition.
- Serve chilled directly from the container or transfer to a serving bowl. Enjoy your creamy, protein-rich breakfast!
Tips
- Choose Your Jelly Wisely: Opt for your favorite jelly or jam flavor, whether it’s classic grape, strawberry, or even a unique homemade preserve. This will personalize your oats and make them even more enjoyable!
- Experiment with Milk: While almond milk is a great choice, feel free to substitute it with your preferred milk—be it cow’s milk, oat milk, or coconut milk—for different flavor profiles.
- Add Extra Texture: For a delightful crunch, consider adding nuts, seeds, or granola on top before serving. This will not only enhance the flavor but also provide a satisfying contrast to the creaminess of the oats.
- Make It Ahead: Prepare multiple jars at once to have a grab-and-go breakfast ready for the week. Just remember to adjust the toppings based on your mood each morning!
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter breakfast, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the oat mixture before refrigerating.
- Chill Time is Key: Allowing the oats to sit overnight is crucial for achieving the perfect creamy texture, so don’t rush this step!
- Serve with Fresh Fruit: Enhance the nutritional value and flavor of your overnight oats by topping them with fresh fruit such as bananas, strawberries, or blueberries right before serving.
