This easy no-cook dish can be prepared in advance and is perfect for busy mornings, providing a creamy, satisfying meal packed with protein and fiber.

Ingredients

Overnight Oats Mixture

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (regular or gluten-free)
  • 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2-3 teaspoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 - 1 tablespoon natural creamy peanut butter (or any other nut or seed butter)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon protein powder
  • Dash of sea salt

Liquid

  • 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

Topping

  • 1/2 small banana, sliced (added just before serving)

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl or container, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, protein powder, maple syrup, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and a dash of sea salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Add milk: Pour in the unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk) and stir again until the mixture is fully combined and begins to thicken slightly.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or container with a lid or plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator and let it sit for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors to meld.
  4. Add banana before serving: Just before serving, slice half a small banana and add it on top of the oats for natural sweetness and an extra boost of nutrients.

Notes

  • You can use regular or gluten-free rolled oats based on your preference or dietary needs.
  • Adjust the amount of peanut butter and maple syrup to suit your taste or caloric needs.
  • For a thicker consistency, use less milk or increase chia seeds.
  • This recipe can be doubled or tripled for meal prepping multiple servings.
  • Try swapping the peanut butter for almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or tahini for different flavor profiles.
