Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats Easy and Healthy Meal

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (plus extra for drizzling)
• 1 ripe banana sliced
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt
• to taste toppings: sliced bananas, chopped nuts, cacao nibs, and a sprinkle of cinnamon

Instructions

1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, peanut butter, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
2. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until everything is well combined. The peanut butter should be evenly distributed throughout.
3. Divide the mixture into two jars or bowls and add a layer of sliced bananas into each.
4. Seal the jars or cover the bowls with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 6 hours) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
5. In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash more almond milk.
6. Top with additional banana slices, a drizzle of peanut butter, chopped nuts, cacao nibs, and a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
