- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk of your choice - dairy or plant-based
- 1/2 Tbsp flax or chia seeds optional
- One drop of vanilla extract optional
- 1/2 a small banana sliced
- 1 Tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tsp cacoa nibs optional
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup optional
Add your rolled oats to a large 8oz glass jar or container. If you're using flax or chia seeds stir them into the oats.
Add the vanilla extract (optional). Pour the milk over the mixture and mix well.
Cover with a lid or wrap and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours (overnight is better).
In the morning add the peanut butter, arrange the banana slices on top and sprinkle with the optional cacao nibs. Drizzle over maple syrup to taste.
Vegan overnight oats: Use plant-based milk.
Gluten-free overnight oats: Use gluten-free rolled oats.
Healthy overnight oats for weight loss: For lower calories use non-fat milk or even water and go easy on the peanut butter.
Meal prep: Store the overnight oats without toppings in an airtight container in the fridge. The mixture will keep for up to 5 days but 2-3 is more realistic. Otherwise, the oats get really soft.
