Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon whole flax seeds (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
Topping
- 1/2 banana (sliced, added before eating)
- Additional maple syrup (optional)
- Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mason jar or bowl, mix together the rolled oats, whole flax seeds if using, and cinnamon.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk and stir in the pure maple syrup until well combined.
- Incorporate Peanut Butter: Drop in the peanut butter and gently mix it around just a little to combine some but still keep a creamy texture.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soak and soften.
- Serve with Toppings: When ready to eat, remove the cover and top the oats with sliced banana. Optionally drizzle extra maple syrup and sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for added flavor.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats, quick oats, or even steel cut oats depending on your texture preference.
- Adjust the milk quantity if you prefer thinner oatmeal; you can increase milk up to 1 cup for a looser consistency.
- Store overnight oats tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making them ideal for meal prepping.
