Peanut Butter & Jelly Overnight Oats is a healthy breakfast you can make in the evening and enjoy in the morning. If you’re a fan of PB & J sandwiches, you are going to love these oats. And with no-added sugar yet plenty of nutrients, Peanut Butter & Jelly Overnight Oats is perfect for the whole family!
What do you think? Are you hungry yet?
I’m always looking for new ways to add more colorful foods into my diet. As you’ve probably heard, it’s important to “eat the rainbow” by focusing on colorful vegetables and fruits.
And while I have no trouble eating my fair share of most of the colors, purple seems like one color I often don’t get enough of.
So with a bottle of Welch’s 100% Grape Juice in hand, I decided to think of ways to incorporate it into recipes.
(And did I mention I’m sharing a coupon from Welch’s with you? Get yours here.)
I figured, why only enjoy the juice from the Concord grape as a beverage? Although it is really delicious mixed with sparkling water, in a smoothie, or frozen as ice cubes. But why stop there? How about sauces and dressings?
And that’s when it dawned on me.
Concord grapes make delicious jelly.
Jelly can be made from chia seeds.
Chia seeds are delicious in oatmeal.
I love oatmeal with peanut butter.
So let’s make Peanut Butter & Jelly Overnight Oats!
Does your mind work like this, or is it just me? Anyhoo….
You only need five ingredients for this delicious breakfast:
- Welch’s 100% Grape Juice (Don’t forget to grab your coupon!)
- Chia seeds
- Oats
- Non-dairy milk
- Peanut Butter
Don’t forget to grab your coupon for Welch’s 100% Grape Juice! You can print it or add it to your supermarket loyalty card.
Enjoy your breakfast! And remember to feature more purple foods in your diet every day!

Sorry, I haven’t done the calculations.

Overnight oats are the best. So is peanut butter and jelly. You’ve just combined two of the best things ever – score!
Amy says
Thanks Jenn! That’s the best compliment ever!
Cadry says
Yum! It’s no wonder that PB & J are such a beloved combo. They’re perfect together. This looks like the perfect start to the day, and great job on the video!!
Amy says
Thank you, Cadry!
Adriana Lopez Martn says
Wonderful idea to replace the PB&J sandwich with a more wholesome option. Great use of the oats and so easy to make totally hassle free for a good breakfast option.
Amy says
Thank you, Adriana!
Pam says
I would have never thought of using Welch’s grape juice like this. It’s so creative! My daughter eats a lot of overnight oats.
Amy says
Thanks Pam! I really like the grape juice chia jelly. I can eat it on its own!
Julie | Bunsen Burner Bakery says
Very creative use for grape juice! We are not juice drinkers, but if we ever find ourselves with some juice, I will give this a try!
Amy says
Thank you, Julie! I’m not much of a juice drinker myself. But I love it in this recipe. 🙂
Stephanie@ApplesforCJ says
This is such a great recipe. At first I thought it was going to use Jelly. I love that you used the juice instead. Overnight Oats is just such a great idea for busy mornings. This is a good one to add to my collection.
Amy says
Thanks so much, Stephanie! I think it’s healthier with the juice and chia seeds.
Sarah @ Champagne Tastes says
Can you believe that I’ve still never tried overnight oats? I mean not the kind that you put in the fridge- I’ve done it in the crockpot with steel cut oats. This sounds so yummy though- I love peanut butter! I’ll have to try it!
Amy says
Really? You must try it!
Megan Marlowe says
What a great idea for overnight oats. I’m getting a little bored of my usual and who doesn’t love a PB&J first thing in the morning!? Can’t wait to give this a try next week!
Amy says
Thanks Megan! I hope you enjoy it!
Sara @ Modern Little Victories says
I love the way your brain works mine does the same thing lol!! I love making chia jam with fresh berries but I really want to try making it like this!
Amy says
I’m glad I’m not the only one!
Marlynn | UrbanBlissLife says
I keep meaning to make overnight oats and have been saving recipes. This one is so clever! Love the PB & J idea for overnight oats.
Amy says
Thank you, Marlynn!
Daniela Anderson says
Who said that healthy and delicious food has to be complicated?! This is one recipe l would love to try, l did have some chia seed parfaits for breakfast before, but your addition of peanut butter and grape juice is fantastic!
Amy says
Thank you, Daniela!
Gloria @ Homemade & Yummy says
Overnight oats make for easy and delicious mornings. Since I am not a breakfast person, having something ready for me to grab takes the thought process of what I am going to eat so much easier. Love the classic flavour in this little jar.
Amy says
Thank you, Gloria!
Kathy McDaniel says
I love peanut butter and jelly and the fact that I can make breakfast ahead of time is a big plus. Not only I am not a morning person (don’t talk to me before I have my coffee) but mornings always seem crazy. This is perfect for my kids too! They will love it.
Amy says
I know what you mean, Kathy!
Hanady | Recipe Nomad says
What a yummy breakfast to wake up to! And thank you for the coupon for the grape juice- every little bit of savings helps! Can’t wait to dig into this!
Amy says
Thank you, Hanady!
Byron Thomas says
I really need to get with the program and make some of these overnight oats. I’ve been seeing so many options and recipes on Pinterest, and my family loves a good oatmeal dish. I’ve just never gotten around to trying it yet. This particular one looks delicious – so jammy! 🙂
Amy says
Thanks Byron! I think once you try overnight oats, you’ll make them part of your morning routine. 🙂
Giselle Rochford says
I’m not a huge fan of overnight oats but now that I’m no longer working from home, I’ll probably start making them since it’s nice to have a grab and go breakfast. Definitely trying this version – because anything with PB has my heart 😍
Amy says
I hope you like it, Giselle! It’s definitely convenient for taking on the go.
Sandhya Ramakrishnan says
I am yet to try overnight oatmeal and after seeing so many recipes for it, I need to try one soon. You have combined all the right choices for breakfast and this could help me lure my husband to try this.
Amy says
I hope you both enjoy it, Sandhya!
Anne Murphy says
LOL – I grew up with peanut butter and grape jelly… That was the classic sandwich of my childhood! I like using the juice and chia seed, and making this lovely breakfast!
Amy says
Mine too, Anne!
Kylee from Kylee Cooks says
I’m all about make-ahead breakfasts. I love this healthy play on an old classic. My kids would get a kick out of it!
Amy says
Thank you, Kylee!
Sarah says
I love these! So cute! I’m going to make some mini jars of these and send them with David in his school lunches—I think he’d think they were a really fun treat!!!
Amy says
Thanks Sarah! I have been enjoying them for breakfast the last few weeks!
Mel | avirtualvegan.com says
I love grape juice. I have to not buy it as when I do I end up drinking the whole carton far too quickly. Such a great idea to use it to make chai jam and you can’t beat peanut butter and jelly or overnight oats!
Amy says
Thanks Mel! I’m not much of a juice drinker myself, so this is a treat!
JJ says
this looks PHENOMENAL! i’m gonna have to un-veganize it, though, because i don’t have access to non-dairy milk much but we have glorious raw, grass-fed milk I pick up each week at a farm nearby from 4 of the happiest cows who hang out with the family there. I bet those happy cows would even enjoy the PB&J oatmeal if there are leftovers…
JJ says
Sorry! I didn’t realize this was a fully vegan recipe site. I came via a welch’s link and posted before I checked out the other recipes… I thought it was vegetarian. I can’t find a way to remove my post about the milk, so feel free to do so if you prefer. I try to eat local whenever I can, and soy & nut milks definitely are not something we can produce easily in northern new england… decent grazing & hay, and some great grains are totally possible. I didn’t intend to offend. and now that i’ve looked at some of the other recipes I definitely hope to make some of them, too. Because no matter what eating more veggies is a good idea!
Amy says
That’s okay! I’m glad you want to try it. 🙂
Sarah says
I finally made this! It was so easy to make and yummy. Also, I felt so energized throughout the morning. Thanks Amy for this great recipe!!!
Amy says
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Sarah! 🙂
