Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon whole flax seeds (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1/2 banana (sliced, added before serving)
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a mason jar or bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole flax seeds, and cinnamon, stirring to blend evenly.
- Add liquids: Pour in the milk and maple syrup, then stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Add peanut butter: Drop in the peanut butter and mix it gently, just enough to incorporate it without fully blending for a creamy texture.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar with a lid or bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soak and soften.
- Serve: When ready to eat, remove the cover and top the oats with the sliced banana. Optionally, drizzle extra maple syrup and sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for added flavor.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; quick oats or steel-cut oats can be used but will vary in texture.
- Adjust the milk quantity up to 1 cup for thinner oats consistency.
- Store tightly covered in the refrigerator up to 5 days—ideal for meal prepping.
- Nutritional values are estimated and may vary depending on ingredients.
