Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats 50 g
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice 120 g
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds optional, 12 g
  • Pinch of salt half of 1/8 teaspoon
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons liquid sweetener like maple syrup or honey, 12-14 g
  • 1/2 ripe banana about 60 g
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter 15 g

Optional toppings:

  • Extra banana slices
  • Additional peanut butter
  • Chopped peanuts

Instructions

  • Mix dry ingredients. Into a bowl or jar, add rolled oats, chia seeds, a pinch of salt, and cinnamon. Stir to combine.

  • Prepare the banana and peanut butter mix. In a separate small bowl, roughly mash the banana. Stir in the peanut butter (and a pinch of salt if your PB is unsalted). You want it a little swirly — not fully combined.

  • Add wet ingredients. Pour in the milk and sweetener. Stir well until everything is moistened.

  • Combine. Add the banana-peanut butter mixture into the oats. Give it a few gentle stirs — you want pockets of the banana and peanut butter, not a smooth blend.
  • Refrigerate overnight. Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
  • Top and refrigerate. Top with extra banana slices, a drizzle of peanut butter, and chopped peanuts if you’re feeling fancy.

Notes

  • If you leave the mashed banana sitting right on top of the oats, it might brown a little overnight. It's totally normal and safe to eat! If you'd prefer to keep the color brighter, drizzle a little lemon juice over the banana before refrigerating.
