Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Additional Nutritional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon flax meal or chia seeds
- 1 pinch of fine salt
Optional Toppings:
- Sliced bananas
- Peanut butter
- Chopped nuts
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine old-fashioned rolled oats with your preferred milk. Thoroughly mash the ripe banana and incorporate it into the mixture.
- Add peanut butter, maple syrup, flax meal or chia seeds, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the ingredients create a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Divide the oat mixture evenly among three sealed containers, ensuring equal distribution of ingredients.
- Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight. This resting period allows the oats to absorb flavors and develop a creamy texture.
- Before serving, personalize each portion with fresh banana slices, an extra drizzle of peanut butter, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added crunch and texture.
- Serve chilled directly from the refrigerator, enjoying the rich, creamy blend of flavors that make this breakfast both nutritious and delightful.
Notes
- Customize milk choices to suit dietary needs like using oat, soy, or coconut milk for dairy-free alternatives.
- Select ripe, spotty bananas for maximum natural sweetness and easier mashing consistency.
- Control sugar content by adjusting maple syrup or replacing with honey, agave, or stevia based on preference.
