How to make peanut butter and jelly overnight oats

1. In an empty peanut butter or jam jar or mason jar or other container with a tight-fitting lid, combine ingredients.
2. Stir until combined.
3. Cover the jar and place it in the fridge overnight (or for at least 6 hours).
4. In the morning, give the oats a stir and add any desired toppings. Enjoy!

This recipe is not only delicious, but it also provides a great balance of nutrients to keep you energized and full throughout the morning (you could add 1 tbs of chia seeds as well). The oats are a great source of complex carbohydrates and fiber, while the peanut butter provides healthy fats and protein. The chia seeds, if using also provide a boost of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
