Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats) (90 g)
- 1 cup milk (any kind) (240 ml)
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (30 g)
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (15 ml)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional but recommended)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (if peanut butter is unsalted)
Instructions
- Mash the banana thoroughly in a mixing bowl until almost liquid with a few tiny lumps.
- Add milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Whisk until peanut butter is fully incorporated (about 1 minute).
- Stir in rolled oats and chia seeds until evenly combined. The mixture will be liquidy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or salt as desired.
- Divide mixture evenly into two 16-ounce mason jars, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
- Optional: Top with banana slices and an extra drizzle of peanut butter.
- Seal jars and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
- Serve cold or at room temperature. If desired, microwave for 45-60 seconds, stirring halfway through. Stir before eating.
Notes
For best texture, use rolled oats (not quick or steel-cut). Mash banana thoroughly for even flavor. Chia seeds help thicken and add nutrition. Oats keep in fridge for up to 5 days; do not freeze. For warm oats, microwave 45-60 seconds.
