Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/3 cup jelly or jam
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, almond milk, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well to blend all the creamy ingredients together.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Next, add the old fashioned oats and chia seeds into the bowl. Mix thoroughly to ensure the oats and seeds are evenly coated with the wet mixture.
- Refrigerate Mixture: Transfer the combined mixture into an airtight container. Cover it securely and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least a few hours to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Add Jelly and Toppings: In the morning, swirl in the jelly or jam gently to create a marbled effect. Optionally, top with additional peanut butter, chopped peanuts, and fresh berries for added texture and flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve chilled directly from the fridge for a quick, nutritious breakfast or snack packed with the classic peanut butter and jelly taste.
Notes
- You can mix the jelly directly into the oat mixture before refrigerating if preferred.
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- Use natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils for a healthier option.
- Add fresh fruits like bananas or berries to boost nutrition and flavor.
- If you prefer sweeter oats, increase the honey amount slightly or add maple syrup.
