Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (45 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy milk)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
- 1 small ripe banana, sliced
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup, honey, or agave (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine the oats and milk in a jar or container and stir to coat the oats.
- Add peanut butter and mix thoroughly with a spoon or small whisk until creamy and evenly swirled.
- Add vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and sweetener if using; stir to combine.
- Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, slice the banana fresh.
- Stir the oats gently, then top with banana slices and chocolate chips.
Notes
Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Mix peanut butter thoroughly to avoid clumps. Add banana fresh before serving to prevent mushiness. Chocolate chips should be added on top, not mixed in overnight. For thicker oats, reduce milk or add chia seeds. Warm thick peanut butter slightly before mixing for easier incorporation. Store leftovers up to 3 days in fridge without banana and chocolate chips.
