WHAT ARE OVERNIGHT OATS?

Overnight oats are (usually) rolled oats soaked in liquid in the fridge overnight and don’t require any cooking. It’s a simple grab-and-go breakfast or snack, perfect for meal prep, that is eaten straight from the refrigerator.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE PB AND J OVERNIGHT OATS

You need the following ingredients to make these Vegan Peanut Butter and Jelly Overnight Oats (the exact measurements are in the recipe card below):

Rolled oats – also known as old-fashioned oats. They are the best for overnight oats. Quick oats absorb more liquid and turn out soggy. For a gluten-free version, use certificate gluten-free oats.
Chia seeds – absorb the liquid and thickens the overnight oats. They make the oats more filling, plus they are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
Vegan yogurt – Makes the oats super creamy. I like to use coconut yogurt but use any plant-based yogurt of your choice.
Natural peanut butter – adds creaminess and perfect taste to the oats. You can substitute for tahini or any nut butter, such as almond, cashew, or pecan butter.
Maple syrup – adds the perfect amount of sweetness. You can also use agave syrup or stevia instead.
Unsweetened almond milk – You can use any plant-based milk, such as oat, soy, or cashew milk.
Strawberry jam – I like to use unsweetened strawberry jam, but feel free to use any type of jam, such as raspberry, apricot, cherry, or blackberry.

Refrigerate the oats for at least 3 hours, or overnight (the oats and chia seeds will absorb the most of the almond milk).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

CAN I USE QUICK OATS INSTEAD OF ROLLED OATS FOR OVERNIGHT OATS?

CAN OVERNIGHT OATS BE WARMED UP?

Yes! If you prefer your oats to be warm, you can definitely warm them up. Transfer them into a saucepan and warm up over medium heat.

HOW LONG OVERNIGHT OATS LAST?

Overnight oats can last for about 4-5 days in the fridge.
