Ingredients

Scale

Overnight Oats Mixture

2 cups rolled oats
2 cups milk (any variety)
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

Jam and Toppings

8 tablespoons chia seed jam (plus more for topping)
Optional: extra berries or peanuts for garnish

Instructions

Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the peanut butter is evenly distributed.
Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb liquid and soften.
Assemble Jars: When ready to serve, take clean jars and smudge a little peanut butter inside each jar if desired. Layer the oats by filling about one-third of the jar with the overnight oat mixture, then add 2 tablespoons of chia seed jam on top.
Finish Layering: Add the remaining overnight oats over the jam layer to fill the jar, then top with additional jam and optional garnishes such as fresh berries or peanuts for extra texture and flavor.
Serve: Enjoy immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to eat. The oats can be prepared ahead to make mornings effortless.

Use natural peanut butter to avoid added sugars and oils for a healthier option.
Chia seed jam can be replaced with regular fruit jam or fresh fruit preserves.
Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup depending on taste.
Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
