Prepare the base: In a bowl or mason jar, combine the following ingredients: 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats 1 tablespoon chia seeds 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Mix: Stir all the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring the oats and chia seeds are fully coated with the yogurt, milk, and sweetener.
Chill overnight: Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6-8 hours, to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and soften.
Check consistency: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
Add toppings: Slice the banana and add it on top of the oats. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of peanut butter over the banana slices.
Serve: Stir to combine or leave the peanut butter in a swirl on top. Enjoy immediately or take it on the go!
