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 with 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
- Optional: extra chia seeds and/or chopped peanuts for crunch
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed banana, almond milk, and vanilla siggi’s yogurt. Stir until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well blended.
- Add Dry Ingredients: To the wet mixture, stir in the gluten-free rolled oats, cinnamon, chia seeds, and peanut butter. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl tightly and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to soak for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This soaking time helps the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Assemble and Serve: Once ready to eat, divide the overnight oats evenly between two 12-ounce mason jars or serving containers. For added texture and flavor, layer extra peanut butter and banana slices between the oats if desired.
- Garnish: Top each serving with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and a few fresh banana slices. For a crunchy element, sprinkle additional chia seeds or chopped peanuts on top. Serve chilled.
Notes
- To make this recipe vegan or dairy free, substitute the siggi’s yogurt with a plant-based alternative such as coconut or almond milk yogurt.
- Feel free to swap almond milk with any milk of your preference. Oat milk or soy milk work well too.
- If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup before refrigerating.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; just stir well before serving.
- For added variety, mix in other fruits like berries or add a sprinkle of nuts or seeds for extra crunch.
