What are the best oats to use?
Old-fashioned rolled oats are best to use in this PBJ overnight oats recipe. They get nice and soft but still hold their texture.
You can use quick oats in a pinch, but their texture can be quite soggy. Steel-cut oats are best avoided as they remain quite tough even after soaking.
Can you use plant-based milks?
Yes! You can use any milk you like for these oats. Almond, oat, soy, and coconut will all work well in this recipe.
I like to use 2% dairy, but you can use whole milk (3.5%) for an even creamier texture.
How long do they last?
Overnight oats will keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days. Make up a batch on Sunday night and then enjoy them for quick breakfasts throughout the week.
The longer you leave them, the creamier and softer the oats will get.
Tips!
- You can mix the oats, chia seeds, and milk separately, allow to sit for 5 minutes, and then pour the mixture over the peanut butter and preserves. I do it all in a single container for ease and fewer dishes.
- The recipe below is for one jar, you can easily half the recipe, share it, or enjoy half the next day as it’s pretty filling!
