It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted an overnight oats recipe (except the ones in meal prep posts). And when I say a “hot minute,” I mean over 2 years ago, actually…and that seems like a damn shame, because overnight oats are really awesome. These ones are Peanut Butter Blueberry Protein Overnight Oats and they’re everything you’d want in a classic PB&J recipe and more.
If you haven’t heard, blueberries are my favorite fruit and I love pairing them up with peanut butter things…because I also love peanut butter. They go ahhhh-mazinngly well together in smoothies too. One of the things that I love about blueberries in a recipe like this (as opposed to strawberries) is how the blueberries actually burst when heated up, creating sooo much flavor. It also makes for a really yummy chia jam, no blender required. I recommend using frozen blueberries for the best burst-ability and maximum juiciness.
Overnight oats make for a really easy meal-preppable breakfast. And if cold oats scare you, just know that you can toss these in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute to take off the chill in the morning. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks
- Frozen blueberries work best for the blueberry chia jam.
- If the oats are too runny for your liking after setting up overnight, heat them in the microwave for 1 minute OR add a couple more tablespoons of oats to thicken them up.
