Ingredients

½ cup milk of choice
2 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon natural peanut butter divided
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup oats quick minute or rolled
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder see below for substitutions
Pinch of salt only needed if your peanut butter if not salted
3 tablespoon chia jam homemade or jam of choice

For topping:

½ tablespoon crushed peanuts optional
Additional chia jam

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, greek yogurt, 0.5 tablespoon of peanut butter and vanilla extract and mix until smooth. Whisk in oats, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder and salt (if using). Set aside to thicken slightly for about 5 minutes.
Add half of the peanut butter oats to a 10 oz jar. Add a layer of chia jam and top with the remaining peanut butter oats.
Top with the remaining 0.5 tablespoon of peanut butter (I like to microwave mine for about 15 seconds and pour it over the top to get a smooth, spreadable layer). Cover and place in the fridge for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
In the morning, top with crushed peanuts and additional chia jam if desired.

Notes

For a stronger peanut butter flavour you may increase the peanut butter quantity to 2 tablespoon (using 1 tablespoon in the oats and 1 tablespoon for topping)!

Protein powder: replace with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter powder or you may leave it out completely. If you are skipping the protein powder, I recommend adding some additional sweetness (ie. 1 teaspoon of honey).
Greek yogurt: add an additional 2 tablespoon of milk. Please note this will result in slightly thinner overnight oats.
Peanut butter: you can substitute the 1 tablespoon of peanut butter with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter powder and an additional 1 tablespoon of yogurt.
For added sweetness: add ½ teaspoon honey into the liquid mixture
