Ingredients
Scale
Base 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 for layering and topping
For Garnish
- Banana slices
- Optional: extra chia seeds and/or chopped peanuts for crunch
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the mashed ripe banana, almond milk, and vanilla Siggi’s yogurt. Stir together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the banana is well incorporated.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the gluten free rolled oats, cinnamon, chia seeds, and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter into the wet mixture. Mix well to evenly distribute all ingredients.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture sit for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight so the oats can absorb the liquid and flavors meld beautifully.
- Serve and Layer: When ready to eat, divide the overnight oats evenly between two 12-ounce mason jars or serving bowls. If desired, add layers of peanut butter and banana slices in the middle for extra texture and flavor.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Top each serving with an additional tablespoon of peanut butter and some extra banana slices. For those who like added crunch, sprinkle extra chia seeds and/or chopped peanuts on top before serving.
Notes
- To make these overnight oats vegan or dairy free, substitute Siggi’s yogurt with their plant-based alternative.
- Feel free to customize toppings with nuts or seeds for added texture.
- Using gluten free oats makes this recipe suitable for gluten sensitive diets.
- For a thinner consistency, add a splash more almond milk before refrigerating.
