Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup cocoa nibs
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, mashed bananas, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are fully combined and the oats are evenly coated.
- Divide the mixture into two jars or containers with lids, ensuring an even distribution of oats and liquid.
- Top each jar with cocoa nibs, pressing them gently into the oats.
- Seal the jars and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to soak and soften.
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir and enjoy straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl. Top with additional banana slices if desired.
Notes
Note: For an extra boost of flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg when mixing the ingredients.
For a creamier texture, consider using Greek yogurt along with the almond milk. You can also switch out the peanut butter for almond or cashew butter if you prefer. Don’t have cocoa nibs? Chocolate chips can be a great substitute, though they will add extra sweetness.
Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. These oats can be enjoyed cold or warmed up for a cozy breakfast option. Feel free to top with additional banana slices or a drizzle of honey before serving!
