Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 cup soy milk or other plant milk
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
Toppings (optional)
- Sliced strawberries, banana or raspberries
- More peanut butter
- Chopped peanuts, chocolate chips
- Raspberry or strawberry jam
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all ingredients except the toppings to a glass jar or container and stir with a spoon until well combined. It’s okay if peanut butter streaks remain for texture.
- Refrigerate: Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
- Add Toppings and Serve: When ready to eat, uncover and add your preferred toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or jam. Avoid adding sliced bananas ahead of time to prevent browning.
Notes
- You can use any plant milk of your choice; soy milk is preferred for added protein and creaminess. Full-fat oat milk is also a great alternative.
- For a higher protein option, add a tablespoon or two of protein powder and increase the milk quantity by 1/4 cup.
- If you have a peanut allergy, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or almond butter.
