Peanut butter and jelly oats are everything breakfast should be—warm, filling, nostalgic, and packed with nutrients. This cozy bowl transforms a classic PB&J into a creamy, high-protein oatmeal perfect for busy mornings or slow weekends.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp quinoa flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup plant-based milk (or water)
  • 1 tbsp creamy natural peanut butter
  • 1 tsp maple syrup (or mashed banana)
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp chia jam (raspberry or strawberry)
  • Optional toppings: Fresh berries, Coconut yogurt, Crushed peanuts or granola, Coconut flakes or hemp seeds

Instructions

  1. Add oats, quinoa flakes, and plant-based milk to a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Simmer for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oats begin to soften.
  3. Stir in peanut butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt.
  4. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until thick and creamy.
  5. Pour into a bowl and swirl in the chia jam.
  6. Top with fresh fruit, yogurt, nuts, or granola.
  7. Overnight option: Mix everything except toppings in a jar, refrigerate overnight, and add toppings in the morning.

Notes

Try making your own chia jam by simmering ½ cup berries with 1 tbsp chia seeds and 1–2 tsp maple syrup. Let it sit off-heat for 15–20 minutes. Store oats in airtight containers for up to 5 days. Reheat with a splash of milk or enjoy cold. Customize with nut butters, seeds, or fruit toppings.
