Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Base
  • 0.5 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 pinch cinnamon
Toppings
  • 1 banana sliced
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter for drizzle
  • chocolate chips or cacao nibs optional

Equipment

  • Mason jar or airtight container
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spoon for stirring

Method
 

  1. Combine rolled oats and chia seeds in a mason jar or airtight container, stirring briefly to distribute evenly.
  2. Add milk of your choice, ensuring it fully covers the oat mixture.
  3. Stir in peanut butter, vanilla extract, honey or maple syrup, and cinnamon until well combined.
  4. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds to ensure everything is thoroughly mixed.
  5. Place in the refrigerator and allow to soak for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight (8-12 hours).
  6. In the morning, remove from refrigerator and give the oats a quick stir.
  7. Top with freshly sliced banana, extra peanut butter drizzle, and optional chocolate chips or cacao nibs.
  8. Enjoy cold or microwave for 60-90 seconds if you prefer warm oats.

Notes

Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Keep toppings separate until ready to eat for best freshness. For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and maple syrup instead of honey.
