Peanut Butter Overnight Oats Tips for Success

  • Jelly jars are the classic vessel for overnight oats.  They also have the advantage of being heatproof, in case you like them hot. I like these American made jars (view here)
  • If you plan to heat your oats in the jar, it can bubble up rapidly. Watch carefully! You could also serve your oats in a roomy bowl, or get the wide-mouth jars instead. 
  • Flax seeds can substitute for chia. 
  • Add a dollop if Greek yogurt for added nutrition.
  • For Chocloate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats, stir a Tablespoon of chocolate chips in with the oatmeal and/or drizzle over the top with chocolate syrup.
  • For PB&J oats, simply replace the bananas with a layer of grape jelly. You can also make a Fluffernutter version, using a layer of Marshmallow Fluff.
