Ingredients

Blueberry Jelly

¼ cup (37 g) blueberries (fresh or frozen)
¼ teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (or any sweetener)

Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

⅓ cup (80 g) unsweetened canned coconut milk or cream, full fat (refrigerated overnight; scoop only the cream)
1 cup (236.59 ml) oat milk (or any milk)
2 tablespoons (32 g) creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup (or any sweetener)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt (optional)
1 ¼ cups (81 g) rolled oats

Directions

Make the blueberry jelly:
In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, lemon juice, and maple syrup. Cook over medium heat until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5–7 minutes. Let cool.
Prepare the peanut butter oats:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut cream, oat milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Combine with oats:
Stir in the rolled oats until fully incorporated.
Assemble:
In serving jars or bowls, layer the peanut butter oats and blueberry jelly, swirling gently to create a marbled effect.
Refrigerate overnight:
Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats to soak and flavors to meld.
Serve:
Stir gently before eating. Add extra toppings like fresh berries, nuts, or seeds if desired.

FAQs

Can I use fresh or frozen berries for the jelly?

Yes, both work well. Frozen berries may need a little longer to cook down.

Can I prepare the jelly ahead of time?

Absolutely! Make the jelly up to 3 days ahead and store in the fridge.

Is canned coconut cream necessary?

Using the thick cream from refrigerated canned coconut milk gives extra creaminess but you can substitute with full-fat coconut milk.

Can I make this gluten-free?

Yes, just use certified gluten-free rolled oats.

How thick will the oats be in the morning?

They should be creamy but thickened to a spoonable consistency. Add extra milk if you prefer thinner oats.

Can I make a larger batch?

Yes, multiply ingredients and store in a large container or divide into individual portions.
