An easy and healthy, breakfast spin on this childhood fave sandwich! Vegan, Gluten Free, Refined Sugar Free.*   One thing I absolutely *love* about overnight oats--aside from the utter convenience and ease that comes with preparing them--is how *customizable* they are! Think of overnight oats like a mood ring...you can change them based on your mood🥰 Today my mood ring must have been red because these Peanut Butter + Jelly Overnight Oats happened! With back to school around the corner it is queueing the nostalgia (and the new Barbie movie *definitely* has me reminiscing).   ![overnight oats with medjool dates](https://blog.joolies.com/hs-fs/hubfs/7CA18D53-B32F-48CB-868E-0AE1272B86FA.jpg?width=3024&height=4032&name=7CA18D53-B32F-48CB-868E-0AE1272B86FA.jpg) Typically, overnight oats are made with chia seeds, which helps create that thicker texture and adds balance nutritionally as a healthy fat! Here we're going to use some luscious peanut butter instead, which works the same as chia seeds would (and personally I think creates a *better creamy* texture)! Note: almond, cashew, sunflower, etc butter work just as effectively! If you're in the mood for more of a "plain Jane" version or are new to the overnight oats gang, check out our Creamy Overnight Oats without Chia Seeds--we promise they won't disappoint!   ![peanut butter jelly overnight oats](https://blog.joolies.com/hs-fs/hubfs/532912E1-1DE7-4B8D-9790-8FC6B3F3EC81.jpeg?width=2821&height=3498&name=532912E1-1DE7-4B8D-9790-8FC6B3F3EC81.jpeg) ## Why You'll Love Overnight Oats - They are **ridiculously easy to make ahead and/or meal prep!** So as you're dashing out the door, you'll have breakfast ready to grab and go. Plus, they stay fresh and delicious throughout the week so you can prep several at once! - Easier to digest! Oats naturally contain phytic acid which hinders the absorption of important nutrients like calcium, magnesium, iron, etc. Soaking your oats reduces the phytic acid content, making it easier for your body to absorb those vital nutrients.

[Joolies Organic Medjool Dates](https://joolies.com/collections/all/products/organic-medjool-dates-pack-of-two-whole-12oz-bags) - This fresh fruit adds just a touch of natural sweetness and works hand in hand with the nut butter to achieve that creamy, dreamy texture while adding all the [amazing benefits of dates](https://blog.joolies.com/9-reasons-to-eat-medjool-dates-every-day)!  2. **Gluten Free Rolled Oats** - When it comes to overnight oats, ROLLED oats achieve the utmost perfect texture. Some of our favorite gluten-free oat brands are [Thrive Market](https://thrivemarket.com/p/thrive-market-organic-gluten-free-rolled-oats) and [Bob's Red Mill.](https://www.bobsredmill.com/gluten-free-organic-quick-cooking-rolled-oats.html) 3. **Peanut Butter** - This healthy fat is what makes the oats thick and creamy! Feel free to swap out for different nut or seed butter. 4. **Coconut Milk** - To keep it vegan, we went with a coconut milk, but any dairy-free milk will work perfectly. If you're out of milk, you can substitute with water, it just won't be as creamy. 5. **Favorite Jelly** - Strawberry, grape, raspberry, whatever speaks to you (or rather what you have on hand haha). If you want to skip out on the added sugar, add [Easy Chia Seed Jam](https://blog.joolies.com/easy-chia-seed-jam) instead! 1. ## Optional Add-ins / Toppings  1. **Protein Powder** - If you're wanting a bit more protein in the morning, just add in your favorite protein powder or collagen peptides. *Note: you may need to add in a bit more liquid.*  2. **Fresh Fruit** - Blueberries, strawberries, banana slices, apple slices, etc  3. Hemp Seeds  - These are a great source of healthy fats, fiber, and protein.

We use all natural ingredients in this recipe—including some dark chocolate, peanut butter, and dates (of course)—to recreate Easter's most popular treat. Easter is almost here and we all can probably agree that one of the best candies is Reese's peanut butter eggs 😍While they are quite the decadent treat, they also have a bunch of junk ingredients 🙄We re-created this classic candy into a healthier version with just as much indulgence (if not more). Since most of us will be celebrating at home this year, this makes for a fun activity with your family and a great item for a 'door drop-off' to spread the love. These simple peanut butter eggs are vegan and contain no refined-sugar but are naturally sweetened with our medjool date syrup! Ingredients you'll need: Peanut Butter What's a Reese's without peanut butter? We recommend using a PB that has no added oils or sugars in it like 365 brand, Wild Friends, or Santa Cruz. If you have a peanut allergy, no worries, this recipe is still for you! Just swap out the PB for an almond, cashew, or sunflower butter 🌻 Joolies Medjool Date Syrup The only natural sweetener needed. Plus, you still maintain all the nutrient and health benefits of a medjool date in the syrup form! Instead of all that yucky sugar and preservatives in the traditional Reese's, we use date syrup for a kick of sweetness without the gross stuff! Coconut flour This helps to thicken the batter so you can easily mold into egg shapes. You can swap for almond flour, but you might need to add a bit more to bind everything up. Coconut flour naturally absorbs a ton of liquid, which is why you need so little! Dark Chocolate Chips The final ingredient that brings it all together. We recommend using a dark chocolate without fillers or artificial sweeteners (it takes longer to melt and isn't great for your body either) like Hu Kitchen, Eating Evolved, or SoChatti. Natural chocolate is always the way to go for either bakes as well! If you make this party favorite recipe, be sure to tag us on Instagram and Pinterest so we can see all your date-able recreations!
