Start your day with a nutritious and delicious breakfast that’s ready when you are! These Overnight Oats combine the hearty goodness of oats with the rich flavors of peanut butter, banana, and a hint of chocolate. Perfect for busy mornings, this recipe ensures you’ll have a wholesome meal waiting for you.
Ingredients:
- Oats: 170g (rolled or steel-cut)
- Peanut Butter: 1 large spoon (Sundrop recommended)
- Honey: 1 small tablespoon (Dabur recommended)
- Chia Seeds: 1/2 to 1 tablespoon
- Bananas: 2 whole, ripe
- Milo Chocolate Powder: To taste
- Milk: 350g (approximately twice the quantity of oats)
- Water: Optional, for thinning the mixture
Method:
- Prepare the Bananas: If using bananas, mash them thoroughly with a spoon or fork. This will create a smooth base that binds the oats evenly. For other fruits, simply chop them into small pieces.
- Mix in the Peanut Butter: Add a large spoon of peanut butter to the mashed bananas and mix well. It’s easier to incorporate the peanut butter at this stage before adding the oats.
- Add Oats: Once the banana and peanut butter are well combined, stir in the oats. If needed, add a splash of water to help with mixing, though the bananas should do most of the work.
- Incorporate Flavorings: Stir in the Milo chocolate powder and honey to taste. Mix until everything is well blended.
- Add Milk: Pour in the milk, ensuring it’s about twice the volume of the oats. The oats will absorb the milk overnight, creating a creamy texture by morning.
- Finish with Chia Seeds: Finally, sprinkle the chia seeds over the mixture and stir to combine.
- Refrigerate: Transfer the mixture to a bowl or container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. The oats will soak up the milk and flavors, making them soft and delicious by morning.
Storage Tip: These overnight oats can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days, making them a perfect meal prep option!
Enjoy your Overnight Oats as a quick, satisfying breakfast that’s packed with fiber, protein, and the comforting flavors of chocolate and banana. Simply grab and go!
