Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk or regular milk
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy yogurt or regular yogurt (optional)
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey, agave, etc.)
  • 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Toppings

  • 2 tbsp berry jam, jelly, or preserves
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter
  • Blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries (optional)
  • Chopped peanuts (optional)
  • Granola (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add rolled oats, milk, yogurt (if using), peanut butter, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt into a jar. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly, then secure the lid tightly.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Place the sealed jar in the refrigerator and allow the mixture to soak for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, so the oats absorb the liquid and soften.
  3. Stir Before Serving: In the morning, remove the jar from the fridge and stir the oats thoroughly. Add a splash of milk if the mixture is too thick to reach your preferred consistency.
  4. Add Toppings and Enjoy: Eat the oats straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl. Top with berry jam, extra peanut butter, and optional fresh berries, chopped peanuts, or granola for added flavor and texture. Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious breakfast.
