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 desired for layering and topping
For Garnish
- Banana slices
- Optional: extra chia seeds and/or chopped peanuts for added crunch
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the mashed banana, almond milk, and vanilla Siggi’s yogurt. Stir together until the mixture is well combined and creamy, ensuring the banana is evenly incorporated.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the gluten free rolled oats, cinnamon, chia seeds, and peanut butter. Mix thoroughly so that all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid, resulting in a creamy, overnight oats texture.
- Serve and Layer: When ready to serve, divide the mixture between two 12-ounce mason jars. For added flavor and texture, layer additional peanut butter and banana slices in the middle of the jars if desired.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Top each serving with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and a few extra banana slices. For extra crunch, sprinkle additional chia seeds or chopped peanuts on top. Serve chilled for a nutritious breakfast or snack.
Notes
- To make this recipe vegan or dairy-free, substitute Siggi’s yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- Extra peanut butter can be added during layering or as a topping to enhance peanut flavor and protein content.
- Chopped peanuts or additional chia seeds add a pleasant crunch if desired.
- Using gluten free rolled oats keeps this recipe gluten free.
- Adjust sweetness by using ripe bananas or adding a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if preferred.
