Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 1/4 cups almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 (5 oz) cup vanilla siggi’s yogurt (or substitute plain yogurt)
  • 1 cup gluten free rolled oats
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter, plus more for layering and topping

For Garnish

  • Banana slices
  • Extra peanut butter (optional)
  • Extra chia seeds (optional)
  • Chopped peanuts (optional)


Instructions

  1. Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, add the mashed banana, almond milk, and vanilla yogurt. Stir together until well combined and creamy, forming the base of your overnight oats.
  2. Add dry ingredients: Stir in the gluten free rolled oats, cinnamon, chia seeds, and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl tightly and place it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soak up liquid and soften.
  4. Assemble servings: Once chilled and ready to eat, divide the oat mixture between two 12-ounce mason jars or containers. If desired, create layers by adding extra peanut butter and banana slices in the middle for added texture and flavor.
  5. Garnish and serve: Top each serving with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and several banana slices. For a crunchy finish, sprinkle extra chia seeds or chopped peanuts on top. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • To make this recipe vegan or dairy free, substitute the vanilla yogurt with a plant-based yogurt such as Siggi’s plant based cups for a similar creamy texture and flavor.
  • Layering peanut butter and banana slices inside the jars adds visual appeal and bursts of flavor with each bite.
  • Extra toppings like chia seeds and chopped peanuts add crunchiness and enhance nutritional value.
  • Use gluten-free oats to keep the recipe gluten free.
