Why do I love Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal
Peanut butter and banana are the best combo
Say no more.
My favorite afternoon snack growing up is a banana with scoops of peanut butter. Anyone else?
I guess the obsession started early on this one.
So Easy to Make
First, throw a few simple ingredients in a mason jar:
- Gluten free oats
- Chia seeds
- Nut milk (I used homemade cashew milk. Find the recipe Here.)
- Maple syrup or honey
- Peanut butter
- Cinnamon (optional)
Second, shake it up. Let it sit in the fridge overnight.
Then, in the morning, top it off with some sliced bananas, chocolate chips, and extra peanut butter. Breakfast can be ready in 30 seconds.
Why Soaking the Oats Overnight?
Soaking oats overnight lets the flavor steep in all night. And this process makes the oats softer, similar to cooking them over the stove for a while.
But the better part is that you do not have to actively cook the oats. All you need to do is to prep all the ingredients in a jar and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight.
There you have the perfect breakfast waiting for you when you wake up in the morning!
