  • Total Time: Overnight soaking plus 5 minutes prep
  • Yield: 3 servings

Ingredients

Jam

  • 1 batch of blackberry or raspberry chia jam (prepared following Instant Pot Blackberry Chia Jam recipe)

Overnight Oats

  • 1 cup gluten-free old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or substitute with any preferred yogurt)
  • 1 cup unsweetened plain oat milk (or substitute with other dairy-free or regular milk)
  • 2 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon golden flax seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Toppings

  • A dollop of berry chia jam
  • Toasted coconut flakes
  • Roasted & unsalted peanuts, chopped
  • Peanut butter (for drizzling on top, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Jam: Make a batch of berry chia jam using the Instant Pot Blackberry Chia Jam recipe, which will be used to layer and top the oats.
  2. Mix Oats: In a medium bowl with a lid, combine the rolled oats, Greek yogurt, oat milk, crunchy peanut butter, pure maple syrup, chia seeds, golden flax seeds, and cinnamon. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  3. Refrigerate: Seal the bowl with a lid and refrigerate overnight or for at least 2-3 hours to allow the oats and seeds to soak and thicken, creating a creamy texture.
  4. Stir: Remove the soaked oats from the refrigerator and give it a final stir to evenly distribute the ingredients before assembling.
  5. Assemble Jars: Using three small jars (about 8 oz or 240 ml each), spoon approximately ½ cup of the soaked oats into the bottom of each jar. Add 2 tablespoons of the prepared berry chia jam on top, then add another ¼ cup of the overnight oats to finish the layers.
  6. Store: Seal the jars and keep them refrigerated until ready to eat. They can be stored for up to 3-4 days for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts.
  7. Add Toppings & Enjoy: When you’re ready to eat, top each jar with an additional dollop of berry chia jam, toasted coconut flakes, chopped roasted peanuts, and a drizzle of peanut butter if desired, then enjoy the rich, nutty, and fruity flavors.

Notes

  • The recipe uses gluten-free rolled oats, but regular oats can be substituted if gluten is not a concern.
  • The yogurt can be swapped for any variety including dairy-free to accommodate dietary preferences.
  • The berry chia jam can be prepared in advance and kept refrigerated for quick layering.
  • Overnight oats can be made up to 4 days in advance and stored properly to maintain freshness.
  • Optional toppings like toasted coconut flakes and nuts add extra texture and flavor but can be omitted based on preference or allergies.
  • Peanut butter drizzle is optional but adds richness and a nice complementary nutty taste.
  • For a lower sugar option, reduce or omit the maple syrup and rely on the natural sweetness of the jam.
