Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 8 tablespoons peanut butter (plus extra for smudging onto the jar)
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 8 tablespoons chia seed jam (plus more for topping)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
- Assemble Jars: When ready to serve, take your jars and smudge a little peanut butter on the inside for extra flavor. Layer the oats by filling one-third of the jar with the overnight oat mixture, then add 2 tablespoons of chia seed jam on top of the oats.
- Finish Layering: Add more of the overnight oat mixture to fill the jar above the jam layer. Top your jars with extra chia seed jam, and if desired, garnish with fresh berries or peanuts for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use almond milk or any plant-based milk to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash more milk before refrigerating.
- Chia seed jam can be substituted with your favorite berry jam.
- Customize toppings with nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit to your taste.
- For best flavor, prepare the night before to allow the oats to soften completely.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
