Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 cup soy milk or other plant milk
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
Optional Toppings
- Sliced strawberries, banana, or raspberries
- More peanut butter
- Chopped peanuts
- Chocolate chips
- Raspberry or strawberry jam
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all base ingredients except the toppings into a glass jar or container. Mix with a spoon until well combined, leaving some thicker streaks of peanut butter for texture.
- Refrigerate: Cover the container and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
- Add Toppings: When ready to eat, uncover and add your preferred toppings such as fresh fruit, extra peanut butter, chopped peanuts, chocolate chips, or jam. Note that sliced bananas should be added just before serving to prevent browning.
Notes
- You can substitute soy milk with any plant milk, such as oat milk or almond milk, depending on your preference. Full-fat oat milk adds creaminess and soy milk adds protein.
- To increase protein content, add 1-2 tablespoons of protein powder and increase the milk by 1/4 cup.
- If you have a peanut allergy, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or almond butter.
- Sliced bananas are best added right before eating to maintain freshness and prevent discoloration.
