Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the oats, chia seeds, and cinnamon. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
2. Add Wet Ingredients:
- Pour in the almond milk and maple syrup. Stir thoroughly to ensure that the chia seeds begin to absorb the liquid and the maple syrup is evenly distributed.
- Gently fold in the frozen blueberries into the mixture. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout.
- In a small, microwave-safe bowl, add the peanut butter. Microwave for about 20-30 seconds or until slightly melted. This will make it easier to mix into the oats.
- Pour the melted peanut butter into the oat mixture. Stir well to blend the peanut butter throughout.
- Peel and slice the banana into thin rounds. Add the banana slices to the mixture and gently fold them in.
- Divide the mixture into individual serving containers or a large covered bowl. Ensure the containers are sealed tightly to prevent any odors from the fridge affecting the oats.
- Place the containers in the refrigerator and chill overnight (or at least for 4 hours) to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a bit more almond milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Top with extra fresh fruits, a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of peanut butter, or a sprinkle of additional cinnamon if desired.
Tips:
- For a creamier texture, you can mix in some Greek yogurt along with the almond milk.
- Feel free to swap almond milk with any milk of your choice, such as cow's milk, soy milk, or oat milk.
- Add a sprinkle of your favorite nuts or seeds on top for an extra crunch.
- If you prefer fresh fruit, substitute the frozen blueberries with fresh ones or even try a mix of berries.
- To make this recipe vegan, ensure your peanut butter doesn't contain any animal products.
- To boost the protein content, consider adding a scoop of protein powder into the mix.
- Prep a batch for the entire week by multiplying the recipe ingredients and storing each serving in individual jars.
