Equipment

Ingredients 

  • 1/2 banana, mashed (optional)
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice
  • 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (if not using banana)
  • 1/4 cup regular or Greek yogurt

Toppings

Instructions 

  • In a jar or container with a lid, stir together the mashed banana (if using), oats, chia seeds, peanut butter, and milk until well combined.
  • Add the yogurt on top followed by fruit or keep the toppings separate to add in the morning—whatever works best for you!
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours). In the morning, give it a good stir and enjoy straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl.

Notes

  • Mix base ingredients well first to hydrate chia and get a creamy texture.
  • Use a jar with extra space to stir and add toppings later.
  • Chill at least 4 hours or overnight for oats and chia to absorb fully.
  • Stir before eating for even texture and flavor.
