This easy peanut butter and jelly overnight oats recipe is vegan, gluten free, and refined sugar free!  The peanut butter oats are made with creamy peanut butter, oat milk, maple syrup, and a layer of homemade blueberry jelly.  An incredibly creamy and flavorful breakfast that can double as dessert!

Peanut Butter & Jelly Overnight Oats

We love peanut butter and jelly around my house, usually in the form of a simple sandwich.  Or we get fancy and enjoy peanut butter and jelly scones.

But these overnight oats are a wonderful breakfast vehicle to deliver the classic duo.  The oats are flavored with creamy peanut butter and the breakfast is made into a parfait with a layer of blueberry jelly and a dollop of whipped coconut cream.

And if you loved – or would like to try! – the caramel banana overnight oats, black forest overnight oats, and strawberry overnight oats, you’re going to love these just as much!

Everything To Love About These Breakfast Oats

  • EasyA set-it-and-forget-it breakfast! Everything is mixed in one bowl and refrigerated.
  • Gluten Free – The peanut butter oats are gluten free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free!  A little healthier breakfast is always good.
  • Extra Creamy – Coconut cream solids make the oats creamy.  This recipe does not use chia seeds to thicken the oats!
  • Indulgent – Even with all the ‘frees’, the oats are incredibly decadent.  So much so, they can stand in for dessert.

Ingredient Notes

Ingredients for breakfast oats in small bowls on a table.
  • Peanut Butter – My recommendation is creamy because it makes the oats smooth. But use chunky if you want more texture.
  • Rolled Oats – I prefer rolled oats for their size and texture.  To keep the recipe gluten free, look for oats labeled gluten free – this means there was no cross-contamination.
  • Oat Milk – The oat milk is a flavorful compliment to the oats.  However, any milk you prefer will work.
  • Coconut Cream – The coconut cream comes from a can of coconut milk or coconut cream. It makes the oats incredibly thick and creamy. Refrigerate it overnight so the coconut solids and liquid separate.
  • Maple Syrup – I prefer maple syrup as my sweetener for its buttery flavor which is a natural sweetener.  I also use it to make homemade caramel sauce!

Homemade Blueberry Jelly

Making jelly at home is incredibly easy. All you need are some fresh – or even frozen – berries, sweetener, and a saucepan. The choice of berry is really up to you, but I am a fan of using in season berries.

To state the obvious, my homemade jelly has more of a jam consistency because I like a few chunks of fruit. However, you can make the jam into jelly by straining the jam to remove seeds and extra fruit pulp.

Did you make the oats – let me know in the comments below! I’d love to hear if you made your own jam too – did you use a different berry? Let’s chat!

Equipment

  • Serving Glasses or Bowls

Ingredients

Blueberry Jelly

  • ¼ cup (37 g) blueberries (or any berry)
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (or any sweetener)

Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

  • cup (80 g) unsweetened canned coconut milk or cream, full fat (refrigerated overnight; only the cream in the can)
  • 1 cup (236.59 ml) oat milk (or any milk)
  • 2 tablespoons (32 g) creamy peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup (or any sweetener)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt (optional)
  • 1 ¼ cups (81 g) rolled oats

Instructions
 

  • Plan Ahead – Refrigerate the can of coconut milk overnight. We are only using the coconut solids from the can.

Blueberry Jelly

  • In a small saucepan, add the blueberries, lemon juice, and maple syrup. Heat the berries over medium-low heat until they start to burst and thicken – about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use. Note For chunkier jam, add a few more fresh blueberries at the end of heating. For a thinner jelly, smash the berries as they are heating with a wooden spoon. You can also strain the jelly after if has been heated.
    1/4 cup blueberries, 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the coconut cream, milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Stir until well combined.
    1/3 cup unsweetened canned coconut milk or cream, full fat, 1 cup oat milk, 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter, 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup, 1 pinch salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Sprinkle the oats into the liquid and stir to combine. At this point, you can taste test the oats and add more maple syrup if you prefer sweeter oats. Cover and refrigerate the oats at least overnight.
    1 1/4 cups rolled oats
  • Whipped Coconut Cream Topping – You can whip up the remaining coconut solids from the can to make whipped cream. Add the coconut cream to a small mixing bowl – along with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup (or any sweetener) – and using a hand mixer, whip on medium high speed until soft, fluffy, and medium peaks form.
  • Assemble – Transfer the overnight oats to serving glasses, top equally with the blueberry jelly and a dollop of whipped coconut cream. Add a few more blueberries to garnish and Enjoy!

Notes

  • Serving Size – This recipe will yield 2 healthy portions or 4 smaller ones. It is easily doubled.
  • Jelly – Feel free to swap in any berry you prefer, or you can also use store-bought jam. 
  • Peanut Butter – I prefer creamy because it fully incorporates, but you can try chunky as well.
  • Oats – Use rolled oats for their size, taste, and texture. You don’t have to use ‘Gluten Free‘ labeled oats if the recipe does not need to be gluten free.
  • Oat Milk – The oat milk is a nice flavor complement to the oats, although any milk will work. 
  • Coconut Milk/Cream – To make the overnight oats creamy AND to make successful whipped cream – the can of coconut milk should be refrigerated overnight.  You can swap the coconut cream with yogurt in the overnight oats, and omit the whipped cream topping if you prefer.
  • Sweetener – Any sweetener of choice can be used, and I recommend taste testing along the way to reach your desired sweetness.
  • Heating – You can heat the oats! Microwave for 30 to 90 seconds.
  • Storage – Cover and refrigerate the oats for 3 to 5 days.
