Prep this make ahead breakfast in 5 minutes the night before and you have a healthy and delicious Peanut Butter & Blueberry Overnight Oats in the morning.
Make ahead breakfasts like overnight oats are a lifesaver for me. It is no secret that I am not a morning person. I don’t wake up grumpy or anything, it just takes my brain a little while to be able to function.
As my sister likes to tell her kids, “It takes Aunt Becky a while to become human in the morning.”
It’s true.
Which is why breakfasts that I can make ahead of time totally save me. If I can wake up in the morning, stumble upstairs, and have a healthy breakfast already prepared and waiting for me, then it just starts my morning off on the right foot.
Having a healthy breakfast with protein is super important for giving me energy and warding off cravings later in the day, and there are so many things I love about this overnight oats recipe.
Things I Love About These Peanut Butter & Blueberry Overnight Oats
- It only takes 5 minutes to make a week’s worth of breakfasts
- PEANUT BUTTER
- It’s protein-packed (from the peanut butter, oats, & chia seeds)
- You get an antioxidant boost from the blueberries
- You can eat it hot or cold (I prefer hot)
- And did I mention PEANUT BUTTER?
This is something I usually throw together on Sunday afternoons. I like using mason jars, because they are just perfect for individual serving sizes, and you can microwave the oatmeal right inside of them.
Oh, and frozen blueberries work great in this, too! I like to keep a big bag of frozen blueberries in my freezer to throw in overnight oats, yogurt, pancakes, and muffins!
