How to Make Peanut Butter & Jelly Protein Oatmeal

Start by adding the oats, plant-based milk, water, date syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt to a saucepan. Bring everything to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring often so nothing sticks. Once the oats are warm but not fully thickened, stir in the vegan protein powder slowly, making sure it fully dissolves for a smooth, creamy texture. This step is key to avoiding clumps. Add a small spoonful of peanut butter directly into the oats and continue cooking until thick, creamy, and fluffy. While the oats finish cooking, gently warm the blueberry jam until pourable. Spoon the oatmeal into bowls, drizzle with warm jam, add extra peanut butter, and finish with crushed peanuts.

Flavor Tips & Easy Swaps

Want it sweeter? Add a touch more date syrup or jam. Like thicker oats? Use slightly less liquid. Craving extra crunch? Add chia seeds or chopped roasted peanuts inside the oats. The balance here is intentional: subtle peanut butter in the base, bold PB&J energy on top.

Meal Prep & Storage

This oatmeal keeps well in the fridge for up to three days. Store the oats separately and reheat with a splash of milk, then add the jam and toppings fresh for best texture.

The Bottom Line

This Peanut Butter & Jelly Protein Oatmeal proves that healthy breakfasts don’t have to be boring or bland. It’s cozy, nostalgic, protein-packed, and just indulgent enough to feel like a treat without turning into dessert-for-breakfast regret.
