Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)

2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)

2 tablespoons jam or jelly (strawberry or grape works best)

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust for sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Fresh fruit for topping (e.g., sliced bananas or berries)

Crushed nuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and almond milk. Stir well until the oats are fully submerged.

    Add the peanut butter, chia seeds, honey/maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until everything is well combined.

      Carefully fold in the jam or jelly. You can swirl it through for a marbled effect or mix thoroughly for a more uniform flavor.

        Divide the oat mixture evenly between two jars or containers with lids.

          Seal the jars and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.

            In the morning, stir the oats to combine everything, and adjust the texture with a splash of milk if desired.

              Top your oats with sliced fresh fruit and crushed nuts for added crunch and flavor.

                Enjoy your delicious PB&J Overnight Oats straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl!
