Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 large ripe banana, mashed
- 1 1/4 cups almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 (5 oz) cup vanilla Siggi’s yogurt (or substitute plain yogurt)
- 1 cup gluten free rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter, plus more for layering and topping
For Garnish
- Banana slices
- Extra peanut butter (optional)
- Extra chia seeds and/or chopped peanuts (optional, for crunch)
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed ripe banana, almond milk, and vanilla Siggi’s yogurt. Stir together until the mixture is creamy and evenly blended.
- Add Dry Ingredients: To the wet mixture, add the gluten-free rolled oats, cinnamon, chia seeds, and two tablespoons of peanut butter. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and absorb the liquid.
- Prepare to Serve: Once ready, divide the soaked oats between two 12-ounce mason jars or serving containers. For added flavor and texture, layer in extra peanut butter and banana slices in the middle if desired.
- Add Final Toppings: Top each serving with an additional tablespoon of peanut butter and a few banana slices. For crunch, optionally sprinkle extra chia seeds and chopped peanuts.
