Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/3 cup rolled oats (gluten free, if needed)
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds
- pinch salt
- 1-2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- 1/2-3/4 cup milk (almond, cashew, oat, or coconut)
- 1/4-1/2 banana (diced)
- 1-2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1/2-1 tablespoon shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon mini chocolate chips or cacao nibs
Optional Toppings
- Crushed peanuts
- Extra chocolate chips or cacao nibs
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients. In a small bowl or jar, mix rolled oats, chia seeds, pinch of salt, pure maple syrup, 1/2 cup of your choice of plant-based milk, diced banana, peanut butter, shredded coconut, and mini chocolate chips or cacao nibs. Stir well to incorporate all flavors and adjust sweetness or consistency by adding more syrup or milk as desired.
- Refrigerate Overnight. Transfer the mixture to a sealable jar or container, cover tightly, and refrigerate for at least 30-40 minutes, preferably overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to soak and thicken.
- Serve & Garnish. When ready to eat, stir the oats and add a little more milk if needed for desired creaminess. Top with remaining diced banana, a drizzle of peanut butter, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips or cacao nibs. Optionally, sprinkle crushed peanuts for extra texture.
Notes
- Use gluten-free rolled oats to keep the recipe gluten-free.
- Adjust the sweetness with maple syrup according to your taste.
- Plant-based milk choices like almond, cashew, oat, or coconut milk all work well.
- For a crunchier topping, add crushed peanuts or extra cacao nibs before serving.
- The oats can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days but may soften over time.
- Mix well before serving to rehydrate any settled ingredients.
