Woohoooo we’re back with the new recipes baby!!

It’s been a too long guys, life with a 1 year old keeps me pretty busy, but now that Axel takes 1 long nap every day I’ve been loving being back in the kitchen. Plus I actually have time during the day to work and now feel more able to share new recipes a little more consistently! Hope you’re as excited about that as I am.

So, let’s chat about these vegan peanut butter and jelly overnight oats. We aren’t reinventing the wheel here, overnight oats have been around for a minute. But this flavor combo truly never disappoints, and this super simple recipe is so easy to prep the night before to have a healthy and satisfying breakfast ready to go for the busiest morning.

PS are you a grape jelly or some other type of jelly person? I am FIRMLY team raspberry, I feel like it’s the best tart + slightly sweet complement to the salty PB.

Ingredients for vegan peanut butter and jelly overnight oats

• Rolled oats: I always use old-fashioned, whole grain rolled oats when I’m making overnight oats because they have the best texture and chew.
• Ground flaxseed: ground flax provides a lot of nutrition, including omega-3s. It helps to give the oats a nice thick texture.
• Peanut butter: peanut butter provides richness and healthy fats, just make sure to get unsweetened and oil-free. A lot of nut butters are full of unnecessary oils + sugar, so make sure the only ingredients are peanuts and maybe a bit of salt. You could also swap this for peanut butter powder if you want a lower fat version.
• Nondairy milk: you’ll soak the oats overnight in nondairy milk to get that nice rich, thick texture. I definitely recommend unsweetened oat milk for neutral flavor and the best rich and creamy texture, but any nondairy milk should work.
• Raspberries: fresh or frozen raspberries will work, or any other berry you like with PB!

Tips for making vegan peanut butter and jelly overnight oats

• Add a splash of milk right before serving to get a texture you like. I typically don’t add more liquid at this stage because I like my oats really thick, but feel free to add a bit more milk to get the texture you prefer.
• Add some protein powder to make it even more filling. If you’re eating these post-workout or just looking for a little extra protein, mixing in some protein powder along with the oats + flaxseed will give it an even thicker texture. I always use Complement protein (code sweetvegansara will get you a discount!) which is totally unflavored, so keep in mind that whatever you use may affect the taste if it isn’t neutral. Also, you’ll need a little more nondairy milk to get the texture you like.
• Have fun with the toppings. Feel free to add anything else you like that goes well with the PB&J flavors – I love a few more berries on top + a drizzle of peanut butter, chopped nuts would be great addition too!

You just can’t go wrong with rich, creamy peanut butter oats + those tart raspberries! Let me know if you try these vegan peanut butter and jelly overnight oats – I’ve made them 3 times in the past few days and they’re just as good every time.
