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
- Mix Ingredients: Add rolled oats, chia seeds, soy milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and creamy peanut butter into a glass jar or container. Stir gently until combined, leaving some peanut butter streaks for extra 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: When ready to eat, uncover and add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, more peanut butter, chopped peanuts, or jam. Avoid adding sliced bananas ahead of time as they brown quickly.
Notes
- Use any plant-based milk you prefer; soy milk is recommended for added protein and creaminess, while full-fat oat milk is also a great choice.
- For a high protein boost, add 1-2 tablespoons of protein powder and an extra 1/4 cup of milk during mixing.
- If allergic to peanut butter, substitute with sunflower seed butter or almond butter.
