Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
- ¾ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- ¼ cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ whole banana, sliced, plus extra for topping
Instructions
- 1
Pour 0.5 cup oats into a mason jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
- 2
Add 0.75 cup milk and 0.25 cup yogurt to the oats, stirring gently with a spoon until the oats are fully submerged and no dry flakes remain.
- 3
Stir 2 tablespoons peanut butter directly into the oat mixture using a spoon, breaking up any clumps so the peanut butter is evenly distributed throughout.
- 4
Drizzle 1 tablespoon honey over the mixture and stir once more until everything is evenly combined.
- 5
Add the banana slices to the jar, gently folding them in with a spoon so they're mixed into the oat base.
- 6
Cover the jar with the lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or overnight, until the oats have absorbed the liquid and become thick and creamy.
- 7
Remove from the refrigerator; if the mixture looks too thick, stir in 1–2 tablespoons more milk until you reach your preferred consistency.
- 8
Transfer to a bowl if desired, top with extra banana slices, and eat directly from the jar or bowl with a spoon.
