Overnight Oats Two Ways

Say goodbye to the morning drive-thru, carb-loaded granola bar or skipping breakfast all together. These overnight oats take five minutes or less to whip up, toss in the fridge and have ready to grab-and-go in the morning.

Because they’re so easy to make, we’re offering up Overnight Oats Two Ways. One is Peanut Butter and Jelly Oats, and the other is Banana and Almond Oats. These are great recipes for introducing yourself to this healthy breakfast option.

There is no cooking involved here. How overnight oats work is by mixing dry oats with flavorful liquid and allowing the oats to absorb it all overnight. The result is creamy and flavorful oats that are ready to eat.

For these recipes we recommend anywhere from eight- to 16-ounce Mason jars.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Oats

If you’re a PB&J fan, you will love this overnight oats version. The only real prep-work is to slice the strawberries, using a 4″ Gourmet Paring Knife.

After that only the peanuts are left to prep. Chop them up by rocking a 7-5/8″ Petite Chef over the top of them to cut to the desired size.

To make the overnight oats, mix together old fashioned oats, peanut butter, chia seeds, pure maple syrup, almond milk and salt. Split the mixture between two Mason jars and top each with fresh strawberry preserves, sliced strawberries and chopped peanuts.

Let them sit in the fridge overnight and then just grab-and-go in the morning.

Banana and Almond Oats

Here is another version of overnight oats using bananas and almonds. It is another simple recipe that only requires slicing up a banana, which is easily done with a 4″ Paring Knife.

Once the banana is cut, mix together the old fashioned oats, almond butter, chia seeds, pure maple syrup, almond milk and salt. Spoon the mixture into two Mason jars and layer on the sliced bananas and some sliced almonds.

Again let the oats sit overnight in the refrigerator and in the morning you have a ready-to-eat breakfast.
