Ingredients
Scale
Main 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 if you want layers
For Garnish
- Banana slices
- Optional: extra peanut butter for layering and topping
- Optional: extra chia seeds
- Optional: chopped peanuts for crunch
Instructions
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed banana, almond milk, and vanilla yogurt. Stir until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in the gluten free rolled oats, cinnamon, chia seeds, and peanut butter into the banana mixture until evenly incorporated.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a container with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soften and absorb the liquid.
- Prepare to serve: When ready to eat, divide the prepared overnight oats between two 12-ounce mason jars. If desired, create layers by adding extra peanut butter and banana slices in the middle for texture and flavor.
- Garnish and enjoy: Top each serving with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and a few banana slices. For added crunch, sprinkle extra chia seeds or chopped peanuts on top according to your preference.

- You can customize the sweetness by choosing vanilla or plain yogurt and adding a little natural sweetener if desired.
- For variations, try swapping peanut butter for almond or cashew butter.
- Adding chopped nuts or seeds on top enhances texture and nutrition.
