The best overnight oats in the goddamn world
An overnight oat recipe inspired by PickUp Limes classic Peanut Butter & Jelly Overnight Oats. I’m obsessed and have it for breakfast every single morning.
Ingredients you’ll need
- Half a cup of rolled oats
- Half a cup of milk
- 1 tablespoon of chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon of linseeds
- 1.5 teaspoons of psyllium husks
- 1 teaspoon of honey
- Half a teaspoon of cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (🐈⬛ no added salt or sugar)
- Half a cup of frozen blueberries
The classic overnight method
- In the container you’ll store your oats in, add the dry ingredients (excluding the psyllium husks). So: rolled oats, chia seeds, linseeds, cinnamon.
- Next, add the honey and milk. Mix until combined. You may need to add a little more milk if it looks too thick. Also scrape off any stubborn peanut butter from the spoon and make sure to mix that in too.
- Add the frozen blueberries and mix gently until they’re mostly dispersed around the oat mixture.
- Flatten the mixture in the container until the top is mostly smooth. Sprinkle over the psyllium husks. (I used to do this part in the morning, but I got lazy and just sprinkle it on top the night before.)
- Close the lid and pop the container in the fridge for the night.
- When serving, add 3-4 dollops of yoghurt on top of the soaked oats and mix together until it reaches a consistency to your liking.
The emergency morning method
Here’s the “oh shit, I forgot to make my overnight oats yesterday” version of this recipe.
- In a bowl, add the oats, milk and half a cup of water.
- Microwave for 1 minute on high.
- Stir the oats and then microwave on high for another minute.
- When it’s done, add the rest of the ingredients and mix together gently. Since the oats are hot as heck, the peanut butter and blueberries will become soft quite quickly.
- Add more milk once the peanut butter has melted and mix until it reaches a consistency to your liking.
- Enjoy! (For this version I skip the yoghurt since there’s more milk to make it creamy and delish.)
