Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
- 1 large ripe banana (about 120g mashed)
- 3 tablespoons (48g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (240ml) milk (any kind)
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup or honey
- 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
- ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Mash the banana thoroughly in a jar or bowl until smooth.
- Add peanut butter, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Stir vigorously until smooth and creamy.
- Add rolled oats, chia seeds, and salt. Stir until oats are fully coated and no dry patches remain.
- Seal the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight (8-12 hours).
- In the morning, stir well. If too thick, add a splash of milk. Serve cold or at room temperature with desired toppings.
Notes
Mash banana thoroughly to avoid brown slimy chunks. Chia seeds are key for thick, pudding-like texture. Taste the milk mixture before refrigerating to adjust sweetness or salt. For thinner oats, add 2-3 tablespoons extra milk; for thicker, reduce milk by same amount. Keeps in fridge up to 5 days; best on days 2-3. Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
