Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large ripe banana mashed
  • 1 ¼ cups almond milk (or any milk of choice
  • 1 5 oz cup vanilla yogurt
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • Banana slices for garnish

Method
 

  1. Start by mashing the ripe banana in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add almond milk and yogurt to the bowl and stir everything together until the mixture becomes creamy and well combined. This base gives the oats their smooth texture.
  2. Next, stir in the rolled oats, cinnamon, chia seeds, and peanut butter. Mix thoroughly so that the oats are evenly coated with the liquid mixture. This ensures every spoonful is flavorful and creamy.
  3. Cover the bowl or transfer the mixture into mason jars. Place it in the refrigerator for at least four hours or overnight. During this time, the oats absorb the liquid and soften naturally.
  4. Once the oats are ready, divide them into jars or bowls. You can add layers of peanut butter and banana slices for extra flavor and visual appeal. This step also makes the oats taste even richer.
  5. Before serving, top the oats with extra banana slices, a drizzle of peanut butter, or crunchy toppings like granola. Enjoy them chilled for a refreshing and satisfying breakfast.

Notes

  • I always use very ripe bananas because they naturally sweeten the oats and enhance the banana flavor.
  • I like to stir the oats once after 30 minutes in the fridge to help the chia seeds distribute evenly.
  • Adding a little extra milk in the morning makes the oats creamier if they become too thick overnight.
  • I sometimes drizzle warm peanut butter on top before serving because it creates a richer flavor.
If I want extra texture, I sprinkle granola or chopped nuts right before eating.
