I don’t know about you all but for me, September pretty much happened in a blink of an eye. Like, where did it go? I’ve been busier than normal which is always a good thing in my opinion but that means I need to make sure I’m prepped and ready for my earlier mornings! When I don’t have time to make a healthy breakfast and I know I’ll be running around in the morning I make sure to prep overnight oats before I head to bed!
Overnight oats take seriously about 5 minutes to swirl together and they taste so amazing. I seriously look forward to breakfast every time I make these.
Let’s talk about peanut butter for a second… I used to not be a fan! Yes, that’s right I didn’t like peanut butter, I know I was crazy BUT in the last year I started going crazy for it and now I can’t keep it out of my meals! I somehow work peanut butter into my daily eating routine! Not hard to do! But I like to make sure I can actually taste it, you know because then it feels like I was cheated of my 2 tablespoons. Well, you’re in luck if you’re like me because the flavor of the peanut butter truly shines in these oats!
The combo of blueberries and peanut butter is one of my ALL TIME favorites! And the best part is that the blueberries do NOT get soggy sitting in the oat mixture at all! It’s pretty crazy!
Okay, enough about me going on and on about overnight oats, I’m sure you’ve all tried a version of overnight oats before but these are pretty damn exceptional!
PB & Blueberry Overnight Oatmeal
The classic combo of PB and Blueberries gets upgraded with the superfoods and protein and is the perfect comfort breakfast, as well as super filling and nutritious – great for those mornings you are in a rush and need something quick and easy. Make these the night before and grab and go in the AM!
INGREDIENTS
Oatmeal
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened plain almond milk (DIY recipe)
- 3/4 Tbsp (9 g) chia seeds
- 2 Tbsp (32 g) natural salted peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 1 Tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup (or sub coconut sugar, brown sugar, stevia to taste)
- 1/2 cup (45 g) gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup organic fresh blueberries
Toppings
- Sliced banana
- Additional chia seed
- Granola
- Additional almond milk
METHOD
- Take an almost empty jar of PB or a mason jar or small container (I had a crunchy PB jar from Trader Joes with exactly 2 tbsp of PB left, how lucky am I?) and add almond milk, chia seeds, PB, maple syrup (or sweetener of choice), protein powder, vanilla, and blueberries into the jar and stir with a spoon to combine
- Then add in oats and stir again to combine, (don’t worry if the PB doesn’t combine easily – it will swirl together overnight!)
- Screw-on lid and shake container for 30 seconds to a minute to ensure everything gets mixed up well! You want to make sure the oats get nice and moistened.
- Place in the refrigerator overnight (or for at least 6 hours).
- The next day, open and enjoy as is, or garnish with desired toppings (see options above).
- Overnight oats will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though best within the first 12-24 hours.
