PB & J Overnight Oats (Gluten-Free)

July 7, 2016 by Julie 20 Comments

This recipe for pb&j overnight oats is a gluten-free breakfast dish that can easily be prepped ahead for a simple morning meal that tastes like a childhood favorite. Creamy peanut butter comes together with a sweet swirl of strawberry jelly and doughy pieces of Van’s Foods PB&J sandwich bars in this filling recipe. Thank you so much to Van’s Foods for teaming up with me for this recipe!

Peanut Butter and Jelly Overnight Oats (Gluten-Free)

Peanut butter and jelly go together like, well, peanut butter and jelly. With the exception of chocolate and peanut butter, I’m not sure a more delicious flavor combination exists on this planet. Sweet and salty come together in childhood flavor perfection in this recipe for peanut butter and jelly overnight oats.

I’ve been making overnight oats for years and love the way they are so incredibly versatile, allowing me to play with various flavor combinations and textures. I’ve shared a handful of peanut butter-based overnight oats recipes on the blog in the past – my peanut butter oatmeal cookie dough overnight oats are still a personal favorite – but I am not sure why it has taken me this long to add jelly to the mix!?

PB & J Overnight Oats

In the past, I’ve sweetened things up with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dash of honey, but the sweetness from a small spoonful of jelly added the perfect punch of strawberry flavor to this creamy and slightly chewy recipe.

Perhaps my favorite bites in this recipe were the spoonfuls that included doughy pieces of Van’s Foods PB&J sandwich bars, a soft, gluten-free whole grain bar made without any artificial ingredients, high fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated oils.

Gluten Free Overnight Oats

Van's PB&J Bars

I crumbled up one of the snack bars and stirred it into the oatmeal base, along with almond milk, chia seeds, peanut butter, a small spoonful of strawberry jelly and a scoop of Greek yogurt. I then covered the oats and refrigerated them overnight before topping them with freshly sliced strawberries, a few crumbles of the snack bar and a drizzle of peanut butter.

I prefer to enjoy my overnight oats cold right out of the refrigerator and will often eat a small serving of the overnight oats after my workout as a morning snack since they are easy to grab and include that punch of protein I’m looking for in a post-workout snack.

    PB&J Overnight Oats is my favorite way to make them! 🙂 I usually use 1:1 oatmeal to milk and have never added yogurt but I will definitely try (along w/ the Van’s bars.)

    I haven’t made over night oats in so long and I keep meaning to now that its summer and a cold breakfast is always good. I also haven’t tried those Van’s bars but it is good to know they are tasty you never know with GF food I have thrown away may bars! However, Van’s is usually good!!

    I absolutely love PB + J overnight oats! I make them almost daily and it is always something I look forward to after my workout. I love the idea of putting the crumbled sandwich bars on top!

    I’ve never actually tried PB and J together (not even a PB&J sandwich) so this is on my list now! I’m been making my way through a breakfast quiche all week so overnight oats with a cereal bar is on the menu for tomorrow morning! Holy YUM!

    I love the combination of peanut butter and jelly! Of course, chocolate and PB are amazing together as well! Maybe sprinkling a piece of dark chocolate on top of these overnight oats will make the best of both worlds!
