This is a fun breakfast that everyone will love. PB&J overnight oatmeal is definitely one of the more kid friendly flavors we have come up with. You can use any flavor of jam you prefer, as well as crunchy or smooth peanut butter. I love that my kids can help me assemble these. It always makes it easier to get them to eat something healthy when they can take part in making it with me. Letting them take turns layering the oatmeal and jam is a great method of teaching them teamwork while helping make my job easier in the kitchen!

I think i’m going to try this for myself but maybe with not quite so much jam as its for me and not the kids, but definitely crunchy peanut butter and not smooth.

I have never tried cold oatmeal before, but this looks good. Thanks for sharing at Idea Box. 🙂

Overnight oats are typically eaten cold, but you can easily heat up if you prefer.

Do you use 1 Tbsp of PB2 or actual Peanut Butter?
