Ingredients

1 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons peanut butter crunchy or creamy is fine, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Pinch of sea salt
1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 banana thinly sliced
Chocolate syrup optional

Instructions

Place the milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, and sea salt in a glass, I like to use a mason jar or sealable container.
1 cup whole milk, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, Pinch of sea salt
Stir to combine, don’t worry about completely incorporating the peanut butter.
Add the oats and stir to combine, press down the oats to make sure they are covered in the liquid.
1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
Place the top on and refrigerate overnight, or until the oats are softened.
When ready to serve, top with more peanut butter, banana slices, and chocolate syrup.
1 banana, Chocolate syrup

Notes

Ensure all the oats are submerged in the liquid for even soaking.
Don’t worry about the lumps- it’s okay if the peanut butter isn’t fully mixed; it will meld overnight.
Taste and add more maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter.
Use ripe bananas- they add natural sweetness and are easier to digest.
For a grab-and-go option, layer the oats and toppings in jars.
Feel free to mix in a splash of almond milk or adjust the milk quantity for desired consistency.
