Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats old fashioned
- 1 ½ cups almond milk or oat milk
- 2 scoops 24 grams vanilla protein powder (optional)
- 1 Tablespoon peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt if pb is unsalted
- peanut butter banana slices and berries, toppings of choice, drizzle
Instructions
- Combine: Add oats, milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla and sea salt into a big bowl and stir together. Transfer into two 8 oz mason jars with lids. Place in the fridge overnight. If you’re in a rush you can shorten the soak time to 2-4 hours.
- Serve: The next morning (or when ready to eat), remove lid and give oats a big stir. If they seem too thick you can add a little more milk to loosen the mixture. Top with fresh berries and nut butter. You can eat the oats straight from the jar or pour into a bowl for serving.

Notes
- Adding a spoonful of peanut butter at the bottom of the jar before the oats enhances flavor layering.
- Overnight soaking softens oats; if short on time, 2-4 hours can suffice but overnight is best.
- Top with fresh fruit and extra peanut butter for varied texture and taste.
