Night Before Preparation
  1. In a jar or container with a lid, combine rolled oats, chia seeds (if using), maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  2. Pour in the milk and stir well to combine all ingredients.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and gently swirl it through the oat mixture, leaving some streaks for a marbled effect.
  4. Spoon the jam on top of the oat mixture. You can swirl it in slightly or leave it as a distinct layer.
  5. Seal the container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Morning Serving
  1. Remove from refrigerator and check consistency. If too thick, add a splash more milk and stir.
  2. Add the remaining tablespoon of peanut butter on top, along with any desired toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or extra jam.
  3. Enjoy immediately, or take it to-go for a convenient breakfast!

Notes

For best results, use rolled oats rather than quick oats. The oats will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can customize with different nut butters or jam flavors. For a protein boost, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder with the dry ingredients.
