Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • 3/4 cup Milk of Choice (Almond, oat, or dairy milk)
  • 1/2 medium Ripe Banana (mashed until smooth)
  • 1 tablespoon Creamy Peanut Butter (natural style is best)
  • 1 teaspoon Chia Seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Maple Syrup or Honey (optional for extra sweetness)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch Sea Salt

Method
 

  1. Mash half of a ripe banana directly in the bottom of a clean glass jar or small airtight container.
  2. Add the old fashioned rolled oats and chia seeds to the jar.
  3. Pour in your milk of choice, followed by the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt. If using maple syrup, add it now.
  4. Stir the mixture vigorously to ensure the peanut butter fully integrates with the milk and oats.
  5. Seal the lid tightly and place the jar in the refrigerator for at least six hours, ideally overnight.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats and add a splash of milk if the mixture is too thick. Enjoy cold or warm in the microwave.

Notes

Use a very ripe banana for the best sweetness and creaminess. Do not skip the chia seeds as they help thicken the oats. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
