Start your day with a nutritious and delicious breakfast! Our Maple Berry Chia Overnight Oats with Peanut Butter and Banana are perfect for those busy mornings when you need something quick, healthy, and satisfying. This recipe combines the natural sweetness of maple syrup and blueberries with the wholesome goodness of chia seeds, oats, and almond milk.

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.
