Ingredients
Scale
Base 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 for layering and topping
For Garnish
- Banana slices
- Optional: extra chia seeds and/or chopped peanuts for crunch
Instructions
- Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, add the mashed ripe banana, almond milk, and vanilla Siggi’s yogurt. Stir together until the mixture is well combined and creamy, ensuring the banana is evenly distributed.
- Add dry ingredients and peanut butter: Mix in the gluten-free rolled oats, cinnamon, chia seeds, and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Stir everything thoroughly to incorporate all ingredients.
- Refrigerate the mixture: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors.
- Prepare jars for serving: Once the oats have soaked and are ready to eat, divide the mixture evenly between two 12-ounce mason jars. For added texture and flavor, layer extra peanut butter and banana slices in the middle of each jar if desired.
- Top and garnish: Finish each serving by topping with an additional tablespoon of peanut butter and a few banana slices. For a crunchy texture, sprinkle extra chia seeds and/or chopped peanuts on top. Serve chilled and enjoy.
