Ingredients
- 1/2 banana ripe
- 1/2 cup rolled oats gluten-free if desired, old-fashioned
- 1/2 cup dairy-free milk
- 2 tsp. chia seeds
- 2 tsp. cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
- 1-2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup (I use about 1 1/2)
- 2 Tbsp. peanut butter or more to taste, creamy, natural
Optional:
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract, 1/8 tsp. almond extract, ground cinnamon, etc.
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, mash banana.
- Add oats, milk, chia, cacao, and maple syrup. Stir well to combine.
- Add peanut butter. (I like to drop mine in small dollops so there are clumps of peanut butter.) Gently stir to combine.
- Transfer mixture to a mason jar or small bowl. Then lightly press down with a spoon to make sure oats are fully immersed in the liquid.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 5 hours or overnight.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Recipe yields about 1 heaping cup. This makes one large serving, or two smaller servings.
- Serving: Enjoy as is, or top with fresh berries, sliced banana (I use the leftover 1/2 banana for serving), ground cinnamon, additional peanut butter, cacao nibs, etc.
