Raise your hand if you love PB&J. Now raise your hand if you also love yummy and satisfying breakfasts that are also incredibly easy to make. If you answered yes to both of those questions, then this vegan peanut butter raspberry overnight chia oats recipe is for you my friend! This overnight oats combine the creaminess and slightly savory taste of peanut butter with the sweet and tart taste of the raspberry. They’re a great combination of protein, fat, and carbs. They are super creamy and keep me full for hours.
There are few letter combinations that spark as much joy as these three letters in that specific order. I am a huge fan of those delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and wouldn’t turn one down when offered. They are the perfect combination of sweet and salty and I could have them as every single meal of the day. And since the original PB&J is made of white toast bread and therefore not the healthiest breakfast option. Hence, I decided to give it a new twist by replacing the bread with oats and the jelly with fresh fruit. I chose frozen raspberries because they will fall apart when they thaw and can be nicely stirred into the oatmeal.
Overnight oats are one of my favourite breakfasts because they’re easy to make and offer a load of health benefits. This easy recipe is one of my favourite breakfast porridges to make, because nothing beats the delicious combo of PB&J! Doesn’t PB&J bring us right back to our youth? There is something about that nutty spread and sweet jam that has us feeling like a carefree kid again. I tend to make these ahead and they last a few days in the fridge. When the raspberries start to thaw you get the most interesting pink patterns and the top of your oatmeal turns into something that resembles jelly. If you want to turn up the sweetness then sprinkle some palm sugar on top of your still frozen berries but I just drizzle peanut butter over mine. There is no such thing as too much peanut butter, right?
