Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (45g) rolled oats
- ½ cup (120ml) milk (any kind)
- ¼ cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 2 tablespoons (32g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder
- 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds (optional)
- For topping: ½ sliced banana, 1 teaspoon peanut butter drizzle, 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- Mash the banana in a small bowl until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
- In a mason jar or container, combine mashed banana, milk, Greek yogurt, and peanut butter. Stir until peanut butter is mostly incorporated.
- Add rolled oats, protein powder, and chia seeds (if using). Stir thoroughly, scraping bottom and corners.
- Check consistency: it should be like thin pancake batter. Adjust with extra milk or oats if needed.
- Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, ideally 8-12 hours overnight.
- In the morning, stir the oats. They should be thick and creamy. Add a splash of milk if too thick.
- Top with sliced banana, peanut butter drizzle, chocolate chips, or chopped peanuts. Serve cold or microwave for 30-45 seconds for warm oats.
Notes
Use a very ripe banana with brown spots for natural sweetness. If using a new protein powder, start with ¾ scoop to test texture. Stir the oats again about an hour after mixing to prevent clumps. Oats taste even better on day 2.
