Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • Rolled Oats – 1/2 cup
  • Peanut Butter – 2 tablespoons
  • Milk or Dairy-Free Alternatives (Almond, Soy, Oat milk) – 1/2 to 3/4 cup

Sweeteners and Thickeners (Optional)

  • Honey or Maple Syrup – 1 teaspoon (optional)
  • Chia Seeds or Flaxseeds – 1 tablespoon

Fruits and Flavorings (Optional Variations)

  • Slice of Banana – 1/2 (for Banana Boost)
  • Mixed Berries – 1/4 cup (fresh or frozen, for Berry Mix)
  • Cocoa Powder – 1 teaspoon (for Chocolate Peanut Butter variation)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Crushed Nuts or Granola – 1 tablespoon
  • Fresh Banana Slices or Berries
  • Drizzle of Honey

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or airtight container, add 1/2 cup rolled oats, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, and 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk or dairy-free alternative. Stir well until the peanut butter is evenly distributed and no clumps remain.
  2. Add Sweeteners and Extras: Mix in 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup (if using) along with 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds. Adjust sweetness to your preference and stir to combine.
  3. Incorporate Fruits or Flavorings: Add sliced bananas, mixed berries, or cocoa powder based on your preferred variation. Stir gently to mix without mashing the fruit excessively.
  4. Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container tightly and place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow oats to absorb the liquid and flavors fully.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Before eating, stir the oats well. Add any extra toppings such as nuts, granola, or fresh fruit to enhance texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils for a cleaner taste and better health benefits.
  • Adjust the quantity of liquid to achieve your preferred consistency, thicker or more porridge-like.
  • Prepare multiple jars in advance to save time during busy mornings.
  • Stir the oats before serving to reincorporate any separated liquid.
  • Add fresh fruit toppings just before serving to maintain their brightness and flavor.
