Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (90g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 large ripe banana
- 1 cup (240ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tablespoons (32g) creamy peanut butter
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Mash the ripe banana thoroughly in a mason jar or mixing bowl until smooth.
- Add the milk, peanut butter, maple syrup (if using), and salt to the jar.
- Mix vigorously with a spoon or whisk until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the rolled oats and stir until fully submerged in the liquid.
- Seal the jar tightly and shake gently to distribute oats evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight (8-12 hours).
- In the morning, stir well. Add a splash of milk if too thick.
- Serve cold or warm in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
Notes
Use ripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness and better texture. Ensure oats are fully submerged to prevent dry pockets. If using steel-cut oats, soak for 12-24 hours as they remain chewy. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
