Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45 g) rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons (32 g) creamy natural peanut butter
  • 1 medium banana, sliced
  • 1 scoop (approx. 30 g) vanilla protein powder
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) milk of choice (cow’s milk, almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk)
  • 1 tablespoon (12 g) chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon (7 g) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In your mason jar or mixing bowl, add rolled oats, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well (1-2 minutes).
  2. Add wet ingredients: Pour in milk of choice and vanilla extract. Stir gently to combine (about 1 minute).
  3. Incorporate peanut butter: Warm peanut butter slightly and stir thoroughly into the oats until evenly distributed and creamy (1-2 minutes).
  4. Sweeten if desired: Add honey or maple syrup and stir to combine.
  5. Top with banana slices: Add sliced banana on top or fold some into the oats.
  6. Seal and refrigerate: Cover the jar or container and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  7. Ready to eat: Stir oats well in the morning. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Enjoy cold or warm in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Warm peanut butter slightly before mixing to avoid clumps. Let oats soak for at least 6 hours for optimal texture. Stir well before refrigerating to distribute peanut butter evenly. Add more milk in the morning if oats are too thick. Can swap nut butters or use plant-based protein powder for vegan option.
