Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup milk of choice (kefir, almond milk, regular milk, etc.)
- 1 ripe banana, mashed (⅓ – ½ cup)
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon flax meal or chia seeds (or ½ tablespoon of each)
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of fine salt
Optional Toppings
- Sliced bananas
- Peanut butter
- Chopped nuts
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together rolled oats, milk, mashed banana, creamy peanut butter, pure maple syrup, flax meal or chia seeds, vanilla extract, and a pinch of fine salt until well combined.
- Divide Into Containers: Evenly divide the mixture among three jars or airtight containers, ensuring each jar has a consistent portion.
- Refrigerate: Seal the jars or containers tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soak and soften.
- Add Toppings: Just before eating, add your choice of optional toppings such as sliced bananas, an extra dollop of peanut butter, or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use any milk you prefer, including dairy or plant-based options, depending on your dietary needs.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave syrup for natural sweetness.
- For a thicker texture, use less milk; add more if you prefer it thinner.
- Chia seeds add extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, making the oats more nutritious.
- Store overnight oats in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for convenience.
