Make mornings less hectic when you start your day with Gluten-Free PB&J Overnight Oats. Prep time for this simple make-ahead breakfast is minimal and you’ll be happy to have your healthy, on-the-go breakfast ready for you when you wake up!
Do you ever get tired of eating eggs in the morning? Yeah, me too. Eggs are a great source of protein, but there are other ways to get your protein in the morning, like these PB&J Overnight Oats! If you’ve never tried overnight oats before, you definitely need to give them a go! Overnight oats are so easy to make. Basically, you throw all of your ingredients – oats, yogurt, chia seeds, milk, etc. – into a mason jar or air-tight container. Give them a good stir or a shake and place them in your refrigerator overnight. In the morning, add a few more toppings if you wish and eat them cold or warm them up in the microwave. That’s it! So easy!
A comforting make-ahead breakfast you’ll love!
Tips and Tricks for Making PB&J Overnight Oats
- Use whatever jam or jelly you like for this recipe. I used my homemade berry chia jam recipe. Chia seeds pack a bunch of protein in such a small serving and you can add as much sugar as you want in your jam! Store bought jam works great, too.
- You can make this whole recipe dairy-free by using non-dairy milk like almond milk and dairy-free greek yogurt alternatives. Equally as delicious!
- This recipe is awesome for meal prep. The recipe as written makes two servings. You can double it to be able to prepare breakfast for half the week!
- Mason jars make a great container for overnight oats so you can enjoy an on-the-go breakfast. Plastic or glass air-tight containers are great alternatives too.
