Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 ripe banana (mashed)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Toppings (Optional)
- Banana slices
- Crushed peanuts
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or airtight container, add the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, natural peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), mashed banana, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container tightly to prevent spills and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This allows the oats to soak and the flavors to meld, creating a creamy texture.
- Stir and Adjust: In the morning, open the jar and stir the oats well. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash of milk and stir again to loosen the mixture.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top your overnight oats with fresh banana slices and crushed peanuts for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, no-cook breakfast.
Notes
- For an extra protein boost, add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder when mixing the base ingredients.
- Use almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free version that maintains creaminess and flavor.
- This recipe keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it ideal for meal prep.
