You’ll love waking up to these peanut butter and jelly overnight oats! Protein-rich peanut butter and chia seed jam are swirled in with the creamy oats for a delicious and healthy breakfast.
I’ve been making and enjoying overnight oats for years, but I feel like I’ve never been able to get a good picture of them. I usually mix them in a storage container in a rush before heading to bed. Nothing against my typical glass storage containers, but they’re just not super cute.
This week my overnight oats got an upgrade. From glass storage containers to Weck jars and they’re (wait for it…) Valentine’s Day themed. I’ve always loved Valentine’s Day. LOVE, hearts, flowers, chocolate, pink… everything about it. It also happens to be my birthday so even when I didn’t have a romantic interest, it’s always been a fun day for me. <3
Okay so back to these overnight oats. They’re peanut butter and jelly flavored and so delicious. I used a little peanut butter and plant-based protein powder to amp up the protein and a batch of homemade chia seed jam for a boost of fruity flavor and a pop of color.
They’re pretty easy to throw together and would be such a cute breakfast to serve your sweetheart or little ones on Valentine’s Day for breakfast. Because I thought this would be a fun recipe to share with loved ones, the portions are meant to serve two people. 🙂 Enjoy!

PinDescription
You’ll love waking up to these peanut butter and jelly overnight oats with protein-rich peanut flour and chia seed jam.
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (affiliate link)
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk
- 2 Tablespoons peanut butter (or 4 Tablespoons peanut flour)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- dash of cinnamon (optional)
- 1 batch of berry chia jam
Instructions
- Make a batch of chia jam following the recipe for my strawberry chia seed jam.
- In the meantime, put oats, almond milk, peanut butter, protein powder and cinnamon in a bowl and gently stir them together until the protein powder has dissolved. It’s okay if the peanut butter is a little clumpy. Cover the bowl and put it in the fridge for 1-2 hours, or overnight.
- Once the overnight oats have set up (and absorbed most of the almond milk) you’re ready to serve them!
- You can simply separate the overnight oats into two containers and use the berry chia jam as a topping or create layers with it. To make the layered version simply place 1/4 of the overnight oats in a container, place 1/4 of the berry chia jam on top, cover with another 1/4 of the overnight oats and top with more berry chia jam. Use remaining oats and chia jam to make a second bowl of layered overnight oats and serve. Drizzle more peanut butter on top, if desired.
Notes
- If you don’t want to use protein power, simply add a couple tablespoons of Greek yogurt in place of the protein powder or omit the powder completely.

February 6, 2014 at 7:57 pmGreat idea for overnight oats! I’m a recent convert…hated them the first time I tried a recipe, but finally found one I liked. Will have to try this one 🙂

February 6, 2014 at 8:43 pmI love the heart in the center! So cute! I also LOVE LOVE LOVE overnight oats. After reading one of your past overnight oat posts, I jumped right on board. Being on a candida cleanse for the better part of the past year, I have totally missed my overnight oats. Indulge for me 😛

cutismama says
February 7, 2014 at 4:12 pmDo you have any alternative suggestions for peanut flour? Would coconut flour make it too dry? What about arrowroot powder?

February 18, 2014 at 11:19 amThank you for writing about overnight oats – they are my new favorite thing! I made a batch last night with a drizzle of honey, a dash of cinnamon, a tablespoon of dates and a pinch of coconut. It was delicious. The possibilities are endless and I look forward to trying out different combos!

May 14, 2015 at 2:06 pmI don’t have peanut flour, but I do have peanut powder. Do you think this would work in a pinch?
Brittany Mullins says
May 14, 2015 at 2:09 pmTotally!
Liz S. says
January 17, 2017 at 8:50 amIf I want to use peanut butter instead of peanut flour, do I still add it to the mixture that’s going in the fridge? Or do I add it the next day, right before eating? Dumb question, I know; but I just don’t want to screw up the recipe 🙂
Brittany Mullins says
January 17, 2017 at 10:23 amLIIZZZ!!! Hi friend. 🙂 I would try adding around 1-2 Tablespoons of actual peanut butter into the mixture before putting it in the fridge. It doesn’t have to completely blend in!
Liz S. says
January 18, 2017 at 2:00 amThank you SO much, Brittany!!! And just so you know, I’m always reading 😀

August 10, 2017 at 7:56 amDoes it make a difference if you don’t include the protein powder?
Brittany Mullins says
August 10, 2017 at 11:00 pmHi there! You can definitely make it without the protein powder. It might be a bit thinner so you can add less almond milk if needed, but it should be fine!
Jennifer says
February 20, 2018 at 2:55 pmDo you heat them up or eat cold?
Brittany Mullins says
February 20, 2018 at 3:55 pmMost people eat them cold but you can certainly heat them up the next morning if you don’t want to eat them cold. 🙂
