Ingredients

Scale

Overnight Oats Mixture

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (old fashioned oats)
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1/2 banana (mashed)
  • 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the banana: Mash the 1/2 banana thoroughly in a jar or bowl until smooth.
  2. Combine ingredients: Add the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, almond milk, creamy peanut butter, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the mashed banana. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Refrigerate: Screw the lid on the jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
  4. Serve: When ready to eat, remove from the fridge and add your favorite toppings such as fresh berries and slivered almonds for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use old fashioned rolled oats for the best texture; instant oats may become too mushy.
  • You can substitute the protein powder with any flavor you prefer, though vanilla complements this recipe best.
  • Maple syrup can be replaced with honey or agave nectar for different sweetness options.
  • Feel free to customize toppings based on what you like or have available.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free if using certified gluten-free oats.
