Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter (creamy)
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mash the Banana: In your jar or bowl, add 1/2 ripe banana and mash it until smooth to create a creamy base for the oats.
  2. Add Peanut Butter and Sweetener: Incorporate 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup or honey into the mashed banana. Stir until combined thoroughly.
  3. Mix in Dry Ingredients: Add 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to evenly distribute all dry ingredients.
  4. Add Milk and Vanilla: Pour in 1/2 cup milk (any kind) and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until everything is fully combined, creating a smooth and creamy mixture.
  5. Chill Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken.
  6. Serve: Before eating, stir the oats well. Optionally, top with extra banana slices and a drizzle of peanut butter for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different nut flavor.
  • Use any type of milk based on preference or dietary restrictions, such as dairy, almond, oat, or soy milk.
  • Maple syrup and honey both work well as sweeteners; choose according to your taste or dietary choices.
  • For a vegan option, use plant-based milk and maple syrup instead of honey.
  • The overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Add toppings like nuts, seeds, or fresh berries for extra nutrition and taste.
