Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/3 cup rolled oats (gluten free, if needed)
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds
- pinch salt
- 1-2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- 1/2-3/4 cup milk (almond, cashew, oat, or coconut)
- 1/4-1/2 banana (diced)
- 1-2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1/2-1 tablespoon shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon mini chocolate chips or cacao nibs
Optional Toppings
- crushed peanuts
- extra chocolate chips or cacao nibs
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl or jar, mix together rolled oats, chia seeds, a pinch of salt, maple syrup, 1/2 cup milk, diced banana (2-4 tablespoons), peanut butter (1 tablespoon), shredded coconut (1/2 tablespoon), and chocolate chips or cacao nibs. Stir thoroughly and adjust sweetness or milk quantity if desired.
- Refrigerate: Transfer the mixture to a jar or airtight container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30-40 minutes or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soften and flavors to meld.
- Serve and Store: Before serving, add a little extra milk to loosen the mixture if needed. Top with remaining diced banana, a drizzle of peanut butter, shredded coconut, and additional chocolate chips or cacao nibs. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, noting the oats will become softer over time.
