School foodservice staff is working hard to get breakfasts and lunches to children in their homes, using bus drivers for delivery and setting up pickup spots around the community. Grab-and-go breakfasts like these overnight oats are easy to make ahead and pack for delivery. Peanut butter gives the recipe a protein boost.
Ingredients
3½ lb. (6 cups + 6 tbsp.) creamy peanut butter
18 oz. (1½ cups) honey
2 oz. (¼ cup) vanilla extract
1 gal. low-fat milk
2 lb. 4 oz. (3 qt. + ¼ cup) rolled oats
13¾ lb. (25 cups) unsweetened frozen strawberries, sliced or ½ cup unsweetened cocoa
Steps
1. In steam-jacketed kettle or large saucepot over medium heat, combine peanut butter, honey and vanilla. Stir constantly 3 to 5 minutes, until smooth and warmed through. Add milk; whisk until smooth and combined. (This can also be done in a large mixer bowl with mixer at low speed.)
2. Add oats to warm peanut butter mixture; stir well. If using cocoa, stir in now. With #8 scoop, portion into 10- to 12-oz. cups; top each with sliced strawberries. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Serve cold.
