Description
These insanely delicious overnight oats are the filling and balanced breakfast you need in your life (coming from both the busy mom and dietitian in me)! Made with simple, nutrition-packed ingredients like oats, chia seeds, hemp hearts, and of course peanut butter and jelly, you can make a batch for the entire week in just 10 minutes.
Ingredients
2 cups quick oats
½ cup hemp hearts
¼ cup chia seeds
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups milk
2 Tbsp maple syrup
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground cinnamon
3 ½ Tbsp jam or jelly of choice (this homemade chia jam works great!)
5 Tbsp creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- To a large bowl, add the milk and peanut butter. Whisk until combined and no lumps remain. Add the oats, hemp hearts, chia seeds, vanilla, maple syrup, salt, and cinnamon and mix until well combined.
- Divide the mixture between 5 jars or sealable containers. Add about 2 teaspoons of jam to each container and swirl it in, using a small spoon or chopstick if you have one. Top with another drizzle of peanut butter if desired. (Alternatively, to save space in the fridge, make one big batch in a large sealable container and scoop out when ready to eat)
- Place in the fridge to set overnight. While these can technically be eaten right away, letting them set in the fridge overnight yields the best and most creamy texture.
Notes
Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Peanut butter: I prefer natural peanut butter for this recipe. The runnier texture makes it easier to mix into the milk. It’s also easier to drizzle on top. (Tip: make sure to mix it well before using. Storing it upside down also helps to prevent the oil from separating)
