Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- ¾ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- ½ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 2 tsp chia seeds
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp fine sea salt
- A tiny pinch of nutmeg
Instructions
- Mash the Bananas: In a medium mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly with a fork to create a smooth base for your overnight oats.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the almond milk, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until all ingredients are combined evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Stir in the old-fashioned oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, fine sea salt, and a pinch of nutmeg. Ensure everything is well incorporated to distribute the flavors uniformly.
- Refrigerate the Mixture: Divide the oat mixture evenly between two containers, cover them tightly, and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Serve and Enjoy: In the morning, remove the oats from the fridge, give them a good stir to mix any settled ingredients, and serve chilled for a creamy, hearty breakfast.
