Ingredients
-
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ¾ cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, or soy)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or agave nectar (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth.
- Add rolled oats, plant-based milk, peanut butter, chia seeds (if using), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine.
- If you prefer a sweeter taste, add maple syrup or agave nectar and mix thoroughly.
- Transfer the mixture into a jar or an airtight container, seal, and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
- In the morning, stir the oats well before eating. Enjoy cold, or microwave for 30-60 seconds if you prefer a warm breakfast.
- Top with extra banana slices, peanut butter drizzle, or nuts if desired.
Notes
- Use a very ripe banana for maximum natural sweetness.
- If the mixture is too thick in the morning, add a splash of milk to loosen it up.
- Quick oats can be used, but they will result in a softer texture.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter or tahini.
