I also love that it takes me like, 5 minutes to prepare.
Made with 6 plant-based ingredients, it’s easy to prep ahead of time and will keep you full until lunchtime. These gluten free overnight oats are great for breakfast but also make a delicious snack or after-dinner treat. I love to top them with extra peanut butter and jelly for additional flavor!

INGREDIENTS AND SUBSTITUTIONS
Gluten-free oats: Make sure to use certified gluten-free rolled oats if you need this recipe to be gluten-safe. Rolled oats give the oats a nice, chewy texture that doesn’t get too mushy.
Milk of choice: Oat milk keeps things creamy and dairy-free, but you can use almond, soy, or dairy milk in your gluten free overnight oats.
Applesauce: This adds natural sweetness and moisture, helping bind the oats together.
Mashed banana: Ripe banana not only sweetens the oats naturally but also adds a soft, pudding-like texture that I LOVE in my Peanut Butter and Jelly Overnight Oats.
Peanut butter powder: A lighter way to infuse peanut butter flavor into the oats without the full richness of traditional peanut butter. It’s also a great source of protein. You can use regular peanut butter in the mix if you prefer a creamier, richer flavor. Just note it may be slightly thicker.
Jelly (for lining the jar): A layer of jelly at the bottom of the jar creates that classic “PB&J” effect when you dig your spoon in. Use your favorite flavor—raspberry, strawberry, or grape all work beautifully.
Toppings: Raspberry jam and peanut butter – for swirling!
DIRECTIONS (STEP BY STEP)
Get all your ingredients together and ready, and then mash the banana until it’s smooth.
In a glass or jar, combine the oats, milk, mashed banana, and applesauce. Stir well to blend.
Cover and refrigerate overnight to let the oats soften and flavors meld.
In the morning, top with raspberry jam and peanut butter. Dig in and enjoy your Peanut Butter and Jelly Overnight Oats.
VARIATIONS
Swap the peanut butter powder for cocoa powder or chocolate protein powder and use cherry or strawberry jam. Top with dark chocolate chips.
Switch out peanut butter for almond butter and raspberry jam for fig jam in your gluten free overnight oats.
Add a scoop of your favorite vanilla or unflavored protein powder to the oat mixture before chilling. You may need to add extra milk to your Peanut Butter and Jelly Overnight Oats.
EXPERT TIPS & TRICKS
Double or triple the quantities of this Peanut Butter and Jelly Overnight Oats for meal prep: Just mix everything together in a bowl and divide evenly into smaller jars.
Make sure your bananas are nice and ripe. This makes such a difference to the texture and flavor.
STORAGE AND MEAL PREPPING The Peanut Butter And Jelly Overnight Oats
These overnight oats can be prepped in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 4 days—perfect for busy mornings or grab-and-go breakfasts.
Use individual jars or containers with lids for easy portioning.
I don’t recommend freezing these Peanut Butter and Jelly Overnight Oats unless you’re going to freeze just the base, without the toppings.
Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats in my peanut butter and jelly overnight oats?
Yes, quick oats will work, but the texture will be softer and less chewy than rolled oats. Avoid steel-cut oats—they won’t soften properly without cooking.
Can I warm up Peanut Butter And Jelly Overnight Oats?
Yes! If you prefer them warm, microwave the oats in a heat-safe container for 30–60 seconds, stirring halfway through.
