Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon whole flax seeds (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1/2 banana (sliced – wait until ready to eat)
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: Mix the oats, flax seeds, and cinnamon together in a mason jar or a bowl to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in the milk and maple syrup, then stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Incorporate peanut butter: Drop in the peanut butter and gently mix it around just a little to create swirls and maintain some texture.
- Refrigerate: Place the lid on the jar or cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soften and absorb the flavors.
- Serve: When ready to eat, remove the lid or plastic wrap. Top the oats with the fresh banana slices, drizzle on extra maple syrup, and add a pinch of cinnamon on top of the bananas if desired for extra flavor.
Notes
- You can use old-fashioned rolled oats, quick oats, or even steel cut oats for different textures.
- Adjust the amount of milk up to 1 cup for a thinner consistency as preferred.
- Overnight oats can be stored tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making it convenient for weekly meal prep.
