Combining ripe bananas, almond milk, vanilla yogurt, gluten-free oats, and peanut butter, it’s a delicious, wholesome meal perfect for busy mornings or a healthy snack.

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

Notes

  • To make this recipe vegan or dairy-free, substitute Siggi’s yogurt with their plant-based yogurt cups or any other plant-based yogurt alternative.
  • Adjust the sweetness by using ripe bananas or adding a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if preferred.
  • Use any milk of choice such as cow’s milk, soy milk, or oat milk based on dietary preferences.
  • Overnight oats can be prepared up to 2 days in advance for convenience.
