Wholesome oats with peanut butter and banana. Easy to prep ahead and enjoy cold or warm for a satisfying morning.

# What You'll Need:

→ Oat Base

01 - 1 ripe banana, mashed
02 - 50 g rolled oats
03 - 180 ml plant-based milk (almond, oat, or soy)

→ Mix-ins & Flavourings

04 - 2 tablespoons (32 g) peanut butter
05 - 1 tablespoon (10 g) chia seeds (optional)
06 - 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
08 - 1 teaspoon maple syrup or agave nectar (optional)
09 - Pinch of salt

# How to Make It:

01 - In a bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until completely smooth.
02 - Add rolled oats, plant-based milk, peanut butter, chia seeds (if desired), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Stir thoroughly until all components are evenly mixed.
03 - For a sweeter profile, stir in maple syrup or agave nectar, mixing until fully incorporated.
04 - Transfer mixture into a clean jar or airtight container, seal, and refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours to thicken.
05 - Stir the oats well before serving. Enjoy straight from the refrigerator, or heat in the microwave for 30–60 seconds for a warm option. Add extra banana slices, a drizzle of peanut butter, or nuts for garnish if desired.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Use a very ripe banana for optimal sweetness.
02 - If prepared oats are too thick, adjust consistency with a splash of plant milk.
03 - Quick oats may be substituted for a softer texture.
04 - Stores well in the refrigerator for up to three days.
05 - For a nut-free alternative, replace peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
06 - For increased protein, mix in a scoop of preferred protein powder.
