I believe breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I am one of those people that cannot leave the house until I have eaten. My kids are the same way. My daughter loves eggs and cream of wheat while my son is a cereal or waffle man. However, he eats lunch later in the school day now and since most of his important school work is done first thing, I worried that he wasn’t getting enough protein.
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are his go-to for lunch, so I thought creating a breakfast dish using those ingredients would make him happy, while giving him a boost of protein. I decided to try peanut butter & jelly overnight oats and let me tell you, it turned out SO FREAKING GOOD! He loves it and now says it’s the best breakfast ever. Depending on how much he eats and how much extra peanut butter we put on top, this breakfast has anywhere between 14-20 grams of protein a serving! Now I know he will stay full until lunch and stay sharp until recess. YASSS!! Mom win!
Peanut Butter & Jelly Overnight Oats
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup milk (you can also use almond milk or coconut milk if you’d like)
2 tablespoons Jif Creamy Peanut Butter
1 teaspoon coconut sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon (or more) of Smucker’s Concord Grape Jam
Hemp seeds to top
Just grab a bowl and mix everything together except the jelly & hemp seeds. The peanut butter will be clumpy, but that is okay since it gives the oatmeal yummy clumps of peanut butter goodness. Toss it in the fridge overnight and BOOM it is done. I scoop it into a bowl with some gobs of jelly, a little more peanut butter and a sprinkling of hemp seeds. Easy peasy!
We grabbed the ingredients for our peanut butter & jelly overnight oats over at Target. Right now, you can save on both Jif Creamy Peanut Butter & Smucker’s Concord Grape Jam on your next #TargetRun using the Cartwheel app! Woohoo!

I’m going to have to fix this. I am a huge PB&J fan so I know I’ll love them! Thanks for sharing!
That looks amazing! I love peanut butter but we can’t have any at home since my son is allergic to it. ;(

Peanut butter and jealous is my little man’s favorite food. I have been trying to think of ways to get him to eat more oats and healthy things, but didn’t know how. This is absolutely perfect, thanks!
It is my son’s favorite as well and this is the only way I have been able to get him to eat more protein for breakfast! 😉

I love overnight oats! It’s especially great as a working mama because I can just grab and go. I will have to try this version!
Yes they are great on the go and for a quick breakfast!
What a creative way to combine to great meals! I’m sure your son loved it as a new breakfast option!
I was surprised by how much he liked it, since he is super picky!
This sounds delicious! We’re always on the look out for easy and yummy breakfast options- this will be perfect!
yes I love that I can prep it at night and be done with it! 🙂
I love making overnight oats for breakfast. It’s one of our daughter’s favorites. Can’t wait to try this delicious recipe out. 🙂
I hope you enjoy it!
I have to start making more overnight oats because they look so good! PB&J sounds so wonderful!
It really is so good and totally different from old school warm oatmeal!
This looks so good! I haven’t tried overnight oatmeal yet but this one looks like a winner. Do you serve it cold or warm it up? I love that you turned it into something you knew your son would eat. So creative.
I love it cold and so does my son. I think it would lose some of the texture if you warmed it up. 🙂
