This Peanut Butter and Jelly Overnight Oats is perfect for travel or on the go! It is a classic childhood combo in a new form!
Peanut butter is one thing that I try to always have stocked. It is one of my favorite condiments to use in recipes and for snacking. One of my favorite ways to use it is in a Peanut Sauce. I could practically drink it, it is so good!
Another way that I like to eat it is with chocolate chunks. It is a fun late night treat that I eat by the spoonful.
Since I am such a peanut butter fan, I just had to make a Peanut Butter and Jelly Overnight Oats recipe. I love to make overnight oats when I travel, especially overnight oats with protein or coffee in it. I add chia seeds for even more protein and fiber.
Honestly, I don't remember the last time that I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, which is strange considering how much I love them. Making a recipe like this one easily takes the place of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, since all the flavors are there.
Perfect for Travel
Overnight oats are about one of the easiest breakfasts that you can make. I first started making them for a road trip. Being vegan and gluten free can be difficult. At many restaurants there's usually only a fruit bowl and potato dish to choose from.
They just don't keep me satiated for very long, and many times I am ready for a nap afterwards. So I found that overnight oats are a great solution. They travel well, since the oats can be kept in dry storage, and I add almond milk or coffee the night before. I have even made them in hotel rooms.
I am always happily surprised when I go to a city that has something that I can eat for breakfast. Lunch and dinner are never a problem. There's usually a Thai, Indian or Mexican restaurant that I can eat at. They serve vegan food that comes with rice or corn tortillas.
Cities that are larger or have a college campus are the cities that are more accommodating. They seem to be more aware of people's dietary restrictions.

I love oatmeal and I love peanut butter and jelly, but I never thought of this. Thanks for the idea.
Jenna says
Sounds delish! I am really digging the sound of the blueberry chia jam. So much better than plain old grape jelly imo.
Willow Moon says
Thanks Jenna! It is healthier too! Even though it has a little sweetener, the chia seeds have protein and fiber, so it slows the sugar down in your system.
