Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (90g) Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
- 1 cup (240ml) Milk of Choice (almond, oat, or dairy)
- 1 tablespoon (10g) Chia Seeds
- 2 tablespoons (32g) Natural Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1 scoop (~30g) Vanilla Protein Powder
- 1 medium Ripe Banana
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) Honey or Maple Syrup (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
- A pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Mash half of the banana thoroughly with a fork in the bottom of a mason jar or glass container.
- Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, protein powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the jar. Stir slightly to distribute the powder evenly.
- Pour in the milk of choice, leaving about an inch of space at the top for stirring.
- Add the peanut butter and vigorously mix everything together to break up the peanut butter blobs and incorporate them fully into the liquid.
- Seal the jar with a lid and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight (8-12 hours).
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir. Slice the remaining half of the banana and arrange it on top. Add extra peanut butter or cinnamon if desired. Serve cold or microwave for 30-60 seconds for warm oats.
Notes
Use old-fashioned rolled oats, not quick or steel-cut oats. Ensure peanut butter is natural and creamy for best mixing. If using plant-based protein, you may need an extra tablespoon of liquid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
