  • 1 cup Thick-cut rolled oats, GF certified
  • 1 medium banana, mashed
  • 1 cup Almond milk
  • 4 Tbsps peanut butter, softened (Make sure that PB is vegan-friendly; See Notes!)
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
  • 2 Tbsps Agave syrup (See Notes!)
  • 2 tsps vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • pinch of ground allspice
  • pinch of sea salt

Instructions

TO MAKE THE OVERNIGHT OATS:

  • Add all ingredients to a medium bowl, stirring until well combined.
  • Tightly cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or at least 8 hours).
  • To serve (hot or cold), add oats to a bowl or mason jar and top it with your favorite nuts, sliced bananas, and drizzle peanut butter atop.
  • Bon Appetit!

Notes

  • STORAGE: Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Perfect for meal prep for the week!
  • TOASTED NUTS:Add chopped pecans/walnuts to a baking sheet and toasting them in the oven (400 degrees Fahrenheit) for 5-10 minutes, tossing them halfway to avoid browning on one side.
  • NUT BUTTER: If preferred, you can always substitute peanut butter with Almond butter, SunButter (perfect for allergy-free needs!), Tahini (Sesame Seed Butter), Hazelnut Butter, etc.
  • SWEETENER: Instead of Agave, you can simply use pure maple syrup or additional mashed bananas. 
  • MILK: You can use your favorite plant-based milk, whether Soy, Oat, Coconut, Flax milk, etc.
