Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Base
- 2 Tbsp. peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
- ½ banana (sliced)
- ½ cup oats (old-fashioned, rolled, gluten-free if needed)
- 1 tsp. chia seeds
- ½ cup milk (oat, soy, or nut-based milk)
- 2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup (or honey)
Toppings (optional)
- Chopped peanuts
- Additional sliced banana
Instructions
- Combine Peanut Butter and Banana: Add the peanut butter to an 8-oz. glass Mason jar along with the sliced banana, ensuring the banana pieces are distributed evenly for flavor infusion.
- Mix Remaining Ingredients: Add the oats, chia seeds, milk, and sweetener to the jar. Stir the mixture thoroughly until the oats are fully combined with the liquid and peanut butter, creating an even consistency.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors, resulting in a creamy texture.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove from the refrigerator and serve chilled. Top with chopped peanuts and additional sliced banana if desired for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use gluten-free oats if you require a gluten-free meal.
- Milk alternatives such as oat, soy, or almond milk can be used to suit dietary preferences or restrictions.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or another natural sweetener of choice.
- Adjust peanut butter quantity to taste for creaminess or protein content.
- Overnight oats can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance for convenience.
