Hi Friends!

Just popping in to share a simple, kid-friendly breakfast or snack idea! These Peanut Butter and Chia Jam Oat Bites are bite-sized, easy to make ahead of time and absolutely delicious.

You may recall from my How To Make Chia Jam post that I love using chia jam as a sub for store-bought jelly! It’s so quick to make and only requires two ingredients! I’ve always been a big pb&J fan so I thought it would be fun to come up with something that holds up well as a make-ahead snack so I can grab them for Squish (or myself) when I’m short on time or when he’s heading towards a total meltdown about it taking me too long to get his breakfast ready.

So here’s how you make them:

  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 18 mini muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strawberries (frozen or fresh)

Feel free to use your favorite fruit to make your chia jam. Raspberry is next on my list. Like I mentioned in the recipe, the sunflower seeds are optional, but I liked the little bit of  crunch they added. You could also use crunchy peanut butter! And as usual, you could sub  your favorite nut butter for the pb.

    It depends on how big your muffins will be. 1 oz muffin has 63 kcal.

    Mmmh. Peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches weren’t present in my childhood but I’ve been a fan of a combination since discovering it years ago and these bites sound amazing.
