Peanut Butter & Jelly Refrigerator Chia Oats { No Sugar Added, Dairy Free}

These Refrigerator oats require no cooking and taste like a delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwich easily served in a mason jar for a perfect breakfast to go! Only 5 ingredients needed!

Creamy peanut butter mixed with 4 other ingredients is all you need to make ahead a delicious and healthy breakfast to go! Some of you may have never tried cold rolled oats before and some of you will swear them off to never happen in your home. I can tell you I was one of those who said, “Cold oats for breakfast? You’ve GOT to be kidding, yuck!” I held off for a very, very, very long time before curiosity finally got the best of me and I HAD to try it, if nothing else than prove myself wrong!

And wrong I was.  I found, especially in the warmer months of the year, cold oats are the way to go. I never want hot oatmeal in the summer anymore. This way of enjoying oats is worth a try for those who are skeptical like I was. The best part is that no cooking is needed so you can just mix, pour, place in the fridge overnight and go to bed. A healthy ready made breakfast is waiting  for you in the morning!

This next week we will be camping yet again. My hubby has decided that since we bought a big camper we need to make the most of it during these warm months and while I agree, I’m not fond of leaving home again for another week as we just returned form the Poconos for a vacation with my family. Leaving home and not being able to cook in my own kitchen is kind of a problem being a full time blogger. But making things like this recipe and others that need no cooking like cold but hearty salads might be just what I will do for this week. Hopefully I will return with some camping recipes for you as well!

Of course you know even though I will be camping I can not take a vacation from my blog. I don’t have anyone to help me run it nor do I have the money to pay someone to do so. I just can’t be off grid  as I love what I do and happily share with you on Instagram by behind the scene foodie shots and my life with my family.

Did you who follow me on Instagram see the pic of my no bake Peanut Butter Pie???

Oh yes that is coming this next week, be ready! If you don’t follow me on Instagram I’m also on Pinterest and you can also just subscribe to my blog (up on the top left of the homepage) to get the latest recipes and not miss any since Facebook is finicky about what you see in your newsfeed and what you don’t.

I hope you will give refrigerator oats a chance to win you over! But if Peanut Butter & Jelly is not your thing you can try some of these other recipes below, all made sugar free and fabulous!

Brenda’s Notes:

• I used Just Great Stuff  powdered peanut butter because it contains only a small amount  of coconut sugar.
• You could use regular peanut butter but the nutritional information will increase.
• You could use whatever sweetener you like, easily adjustable, just add, taste and adjust to your liking.
• If you don’t have liquid stevia you could use powdered, again only use a small amount then taste and adjust. Here’s my conversion chart.
• The net carbs are 14.1 grams when you subtract the fiber from the total carb grams.
