Instructions

Layer Peanut Butter and Preserves: Add a layer of crunchy peanut butter and a layer of raspberry preserves to the bottom of your containers. Spread both layers evenly to cover the container’s base completely.
Add Oats and Chia Seeds, Then Milk: Sprinkle rolled oats and chia seeds over the peanut butter and preserves. Pour in whole milk and gently stir together the oats, chia seeds, and milk, keeping this mixture situated above the layered peanut butter and preserves.
Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the containers tightly with wax or plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak and soften overnight, or for at least 2 hours.
Top and Serve: When ready to eat, add the nut topping and fresh berries on top. Mix everything together thoroughly and enjoy your nutritious PBJ overnight oats.

Notes

Use a gentle stirring method when mixing milk with oats and chia seeds to maintain the layered effect for visual appeal.
You can substitute whole milk with any milk alternative such as almond, soy, or oat milk for dietary preferences.
Customize the nut topping by using walnuts, almonds, or pecans as preferred.
Fresh berries can be seasonal and varied, such as strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries.
For a smoother texture, creamy peanut butter can be used instead of crunchy.
