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.
Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
In a medium mixing bowl, add the coconut cream, milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, and salt. Stir until well combined.
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.
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 held mixer, whip on medium high speed until soft, fluffy, and medium peaks form.
Assemble the Oats - 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 - The recipe is easily doubled for a larger batch. Or cut in half for smaller.
Berries - Feel free to swap in any berry you prefer.
Homemade Jelly vs. Store Bought - Homemade always tastes fresh, but store-bought jelly will work too.
Peanut Butter - I prefer creamy because it fully incorporates, but you can try chunky as well.
Oats - I recommend rolled oats because of their size 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 compliment to the oats. Although you can use any milk you prefer.
Sweetener - Any sweetener of choice can be used. I recommend taste testing along the way to reach desired sweetness.
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.
