Serving serving

Ingredients

½ cup milk, I love unsweetened vanilla almond milk
½ spotty banana, mashed
½ cup old fashioned rolled oats, (gluten-free if needed)
2 tablespoon natural salted peanut butter, crunchy or creamy
1 tablespoon chia seeds
Toppings: extra peanut butter, banana slices, or whatever you want

Instructions

Mash the banana: In a mason jar or sealable container, mash the banana until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients: Stir in the milk and peanut butter until combined.
Add the oats and chia: Stir in the rolled oats and chia seeds until everything is coated and the oats are submerged in the milk.
Chill: Seal the jar and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
Stir and serve: Stir well, add a splash of milk if it's too thick, then top with banana and peanut butter. Enjoy cold.

Notes

Milk: Any milk works. Use unsweetened almond, oat, soy, cashew, or dairy. Dairy and soy add the most protein.

Peanut butter: Use natural peanut butter with no added sugar. Almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter all work as swaps.

Oats: Old-fashioned rolled oats give the best texture. Quick oats turn out softer; don't use steel-cut, they won't soften enough.

Chia seeds: They thicken the oats overnight. You can swap in ground flax or hemp hearts, or leave them out and use a little less milk.

Storage: Keep in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days. Best texture in the first 2 days.

Make it higher protein: Stir in a scoop of protein powder with an extra splash of milk.

Chocolate version: Add a teaspoon of cocoa powder or chocolate protein powder or a few chocolate chips.
