Ingredients
Overnight Oats Base
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats (rolled oats)
- 2 Tbsp creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup + 2 Tbsp milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular)
- 2 Tbsp chia seeds
- 2 Tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
- Pinch of salt
Toppings
- Sliced bananas
- Ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine oats and peanut butter: In a bowl, add the old-fashioned oats, creamy peanut butter, and 2 tablespoons of milk. Use the back of a spoon to thoroughly mix the peanut butter into the oats until well combined.
- Add remaining ingredients: Stir in the plain yogurt, chia seeds, honey (or maple syrup), a pinch of salt, and the remaining 1 cup of milk. Mix everything thoroughly to create an even mixture.
- Refrigerate mixture: Transfer the mixture equally into individual serving jars with lids or leave it in the bowl. Cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or up to 5 days. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soften and thicken the mixture.
- Serve with toppings: When ready to enjoy, top with fresh banana slices and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon. For a warm option, heat the oats gently in the microwave before adding the toppings.
Notes
- Use any type of milk you prefer, such as almond, soy, or cow’s milk.
- For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup and use plant-based yogurt.
- You can prepare multiple servings in advance for quick breakfasts during the week.
- Feel free to customize toppings with nuts, seeds, or other fresh fruits.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, add more chia seeds or reduce the milk slightly.
