The best for prep.
Just because we’re working from home these days doesn’t mean the days aren’t busy. I cook all day, every day and still like to have an easy grab-n-go meal in the fridge. When you’re hungry, you need something at your finger tips. No one wants a HANGRY honey lurking through the house. These PB&J Overnight Oats ensure a good, and flavorful, ready-made option.
With simple ingredients and one large bowl, this recipe comes together with a few whisks and a chill in the fridge. I find it easiest to chill in a large bowl. Once the oats are set, move them to the mason jars and prepare your servings. This gives the oats a chance to soak up all the liquid and become a more consistent texture before breaking up the batch.
The step by step.
It couldn’t be any easier of a recipe with only a few simple steps. You’ll start by whisking all the ingredients together in a large bowl, cover and rest in the fridge for at least 4 hours to set. The passive time in the fridge allows the oats to soak up the liquid, leaving you a thick cold porridge-like consistency.
Make it fancy by “painting” the insides of the jars with the jam and peanut butter or simply layer it like a truffle. The “painting” ensures you get the combination of flavors with every bite.
