PB&J overnight oats are so easy to make ahead of time and meal prep for the week! The creamy peanut butter and sweet jelly get mixed together and absorbed by the oats, creating the classic flavor! 

Oatmeal is such a versatile whole grain! I love using rolled oats in my lemon blueberry overnight oats, apple and peanut butter oats and vegan banana oat muffins!

Why You'll Love This Recipe

  • This vegan meal prep breakfast recipe is perfect for a quick grab and go breakfast.
  • Overnight oats with peanut butter are so easy to make! Simply add the ingredients into mason jars then stick them in the fridge overnight for a quick and easy breakfast. 
  • Peanut butter and jelly is a classic flavor combination; it never gets old!

Ingredient Notes

Ingredients for peanut butter and jelly overnight oats.
  • Rolled oats - make sure to use old fashioned or rolled oats. Rolled oats are pretty soft to begin with (compared to steel cut oats) so they reach the perfect texture once they are sat overnight. 
  • Plant-milk - I like to use oat milk or almond milk to keep this recipe dairy-free.
  • Peanut butter - use your favorite kind of peanut butter. I like to use no-sugar added peanut butter since the jelly contains sugar. 
  • Jelly - I use classic grape jelly but feel free to use your favorite flavor.
  • Berries - fresh or frozen berries make this easy breakfast complete!

Substitutions and Variations

  • Milk - you can use regular milk if desired.
  • Strawberry - use strawberry jam or jelly and fresh or frozen strawberries
  • Peanut butter banana - add in chopped banana instead of jelly.
  • Yogurt - add ¼ cup to ½ cup of yogurt.
  • Chia seeds - add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds to each jar. 
  • Flaxseed - add in a tablespoon of flaxseed for a boost of omega 3s.
  • Vanilla - add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or feel free to use vanilla almond milk.

Step by Step Instructions

Ingredients for overnight oats with peanut butter and jelly in a jar.

Add the rolled oats, almond milk, peanut butter and jelly into a jar or container.

Mix the ingredients well.

Place the overnight oats in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Stir well and top with fresh berries before serving. Enjoy!

Hint: The oats will soften the longer they sit, which is why it’s good to make these the night before. I think they are good to eat if they sit for at least 4 hours, but it’s up to you to see how soft or chewy you want the oats to be.

Tips and Tricks

  • You can mix up one large batch in a big tupperware for the entire week or portion it out in individual servings in mason jars. I like to use mason jars because it makes it easy to grab in the morning or pack for breakfast on the go.
  • Add in powerhouse ingredients like flax seed, chia seeds, protein powder and nuts for an extra boost of nutrients!

Storing Overnight Oats

Store PB & J overnight oats in the fridge for up to 5 days. The best part about this breakfast is it lasts all week long. 

I recommend eating this cold, right out of the jar, but feel free to microwave it if desired. In my opinion it tastes best cold. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I eat PB&J oats warm or cold?

I recommend eating them cold right out of the jar. If you would prefer to eat them warm you can heat them u[ in the microwave.

Can I use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter?

Yes you can use sunflower seed butter to make this recipe nut-free! Make sure to use nut-free milk as well such as oat milk, soy milk or regular milk.

How can I make these overnight oats sweeter?

If the jelly is not enough, feel free to add in honey or maple syrup to make this recipe sweeter
