Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
- 1 cup (240ml) milk (any kind)
- 1/4 cup (64g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 medium ripe banana (about 120g)
- 1–2 tablespoons (15-30ml) maple syrup or honey
- 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Mash the banana in a jar or small bowl with a fork until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
- Add the milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the jar. If peanut butter is stiff, microwave for 10 seconds to soften.
- Whisk or stir until smooth, ensuring peanut butter is fully incorporated.
- Add rolled oats, chia seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir until evenly combined and oats are submerged.
- Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight (8-12 hours).
- In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk.
- Add toppings like sliced banana, extra peanut butter, or chia seeds. Enjoy cold or microwave for 30-45 seconds for warm oats.
Notes
Use a very ripe banana for natural sweetness and creaminess. For extra thick oats, add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds. Oats keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. Do not freeze.
