Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 large ripe banana, mashed
- 1 1/4 cups almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 (5 oz) cup vanilla siggi’s yogurt (or substitute plain yogurt)
- 1 cup gluten free rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter, plus more for layering and topping
For Garnish
- Banana slices
- Extra peanut butter (optional)
- Extra chia seeds and/or chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed banana, almond milk, and vanilla siggi’s yogurt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the gluten free rolled oats, cinnamon, chia seeds, and peanut butter until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the oats to soak and flavors to meld, creating a creamy texture.
- Prepare to Serve: Once the overnight oats are set, divide the mixture between two 12-ounce mason jars or containers. For an extra treat, add layers of peanut butter and banana slices between the oats.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Top each jar with an additional tablespoon of peanut butter, fresh banana slices, and if desired, sprinkle extra chia seeds or chopped peanuts for added crunch and flavor.
Notes
- For a vegan or dairy-free option, substitute the vanilla siggi’s yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- Feel free to adjust the consistency by adding more or less almond milk according to your preference.
- Add extra peanut butter layers for a richer, nuttier taste.
- Use gluten free oats to keep this recipe gluten free.
