Notes
Variations:
- Add in some Greek yogurt (1/4 cup) for a thicker, tangier flavor with added protein.
- You can also cut the bananas into small chunks instead of mashing if you would prefer.
- Swap out the peanut butter for almond butter or sunflower butter.
- Switch out the almond milk for unsweetened almond milk, oatmilk, or regular dairy milk.
- Add in chia seeds, flaxseeds (1 tsp) for extra fiber, or protein powder for extra protein.
Helpful Tips:
- Adjust the almond milk depending on how thick or thin you want your overnight oats to be.
- Meal prep a few jars for the week ahead so you have breakfast ready and waiting for you.
- Make sure to stir well in the morning, and if it's too thick, just add a little more almond milk.
Storage:
- Store covered in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
