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 if you want to create layers
For Garnish
- Banana slices
- Additional peanut butter (1 tablespoon per serving)
- Optional: extra chia seeds and/or chopped peanuts for crunch
Instructions
- Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, add the mashed banana, almond milk, and vanilla yogurt. Stir together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined.
- Add dry ingredients and peanut butter: Mix in the gluten free rolled oats, cinnamon, chia seeds, and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
- Prepare serving jars: When ready to serve, divide the oat mixture evenly between two 12-ounce mason jars. Optionally, layer additional peanut butter and banana slices in the middle of each jar for extra flavor and texture.
- Finish and garnish: Top each serving with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and a few banana slices. For added crunch, sprinkle extra chia seeds or chopped peanuts on top if desired.
Notes
- To make this recipe vegan or dairy-free, substitute the yogurt with a plant-based yogurt such as siggi’s plant-based cups or another preferred non-dairy yogurt.
- If you prefer a thicker or thinner consistency, adjust the amount of almond milk as needed.
- For an extra protein boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder when mixing ingredients.
