peanut butter chia overnight oats

peanut butter chia overnight oats
Overnight oats are basically rolled oats swirled together in a mason jar with any kind of dairy-free milk, plus any extra goodness you feel like adding (chia seeds, berries, nuts, cinnamon, cacao powder, nut butter etc.). Then you seal the mason jar (or covered bowl, if that’s all you have) in the fridge overnight. The oats soften and soak up the liquid, essentially “cooking” overnight, so there’s no need to actually cook them.

INGREDIENTS
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or any plant milk)*
  • 1/2 cup filtered water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed (but leave a few banana coins for topping!)
  • 2 tablespoons PB Fit powder + 1 1/2 tablespoons water (or any nut butter, to taste)
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave, for extra sweetness
EXTRAS/TOPPINGS
  • cacao nibs (optional)
  • coconut flakes
  • crushed almonds
  • sliced banana coins
  • extra sprinkles of cinnamon!
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Add oats, chia seeds, cinnamon and sea salt to a mason jar and mix well.
  2. Add in almond milk, water, vanilla and mashed banana. Stir until combined.
  3. In a small bowl, mix PB powder with water, until creamy. You can double the ingredients for extra peanut butter-y flavor! Stir "peanut butter" mixture into mason jar.
  4. You can add toppings now or in the morning!
  5. Refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours.
  6. Dig in with a spoon and enjoy!
NOTES
* Other plant milk options: coconut milk, hemp milk, soy milk, rice milk, flax milk, oat milk, cashew milk etc..
** If overnight oats seem too dry for your liking in the morning, just add in a couple splashes of almond milk or water!
