Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (50g) rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)
- 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice (whole milk, oat milk, or almond milk)
- 2 tablespoons (32g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 medium ripe banana (about 120g)
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- For topping (optional): sliced banana, drizzle of peanut butter, granola or chopped peanuts, dash of cinnamon
Instructions
- Mash the banana in a jar or container until mostly smooth.
- Add the milk, peanut butter, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir until the peanut butter is mostly incorporated.
- Stir in the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined and the oats are submerged.
- Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight (8-12 hours).
- In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen.
- Add desired toppings and serve cold.
Notes
Use a very ripe banana for natural sweetness. If using a less ripe banana, add the sweetener. Don’t overfill the jar; leave at least an inch of space for expansion. Stir the oats about an hour after refrigerating to distribute chia seeds evenly. For a thicker texture, add more chia seeds; for a thinner texture, add more milk.
