Peanut Butter Jam Overnight Oats

Written By Lesley Whiteside

Overnight Oats: a Dietitian’s Breakfast Staple

These overnight oats are a staple in my weekly rotation - and for good reason.

They’re super simple to make, and high in fibre from the oats, seeds and raspberries, meaning they help keep you full for longer.

Adding some protein-rich yogurt also helps to boost the fullness factor - so they’ll tide you over until lunchtime.

Ingredients (per portion):

  • 50g porridge oats

  • 10g flaxseed

  • ½ tsp cinnamon

  • Pinch of salt

  • 100ml almond milk (or alternative milk of choice)

  • 75g Greek yogurt

  • 2 tbsp of peanut butter powder (or 1 tbsp peanut butter)

  • 1 tsp sweetener of choice (e.g., maple syrup or honey)

For the raspberry chia jam:

  • 50g raspberries

  • 3g chia seeds

  • Sweetener (to taste)

Optional toppings: extra Greek yogurt, sprinkle of salted peanuts.

Method:

  1. Prepare your chia jam by adding frozen raspberries and chia seeds to a small dish. Microwave in 30s intervals until just defrosted. Mash together, and leave to stand while you prepare the oat mixture. You can also prepare a bigger batch of this at once to last 3-4 days!

  2. Mix the porridge oats, flaxseeds, cinnamon, salt, almond milk, greek yogurt and sweetener together in a large container.

  3. Top the porridge with the raspberry chia jam, and leave to thicken in the fridge overnight.

  4. When serving, add any additional toppings - e.g., extra yogurt or salted peanuts.
