Peanut Butter Chocolate Overnight Oats

Overnight Oats is my go-to when I have a big morning workout ahead of me. For this recipe, I use old-fashioned, gluten free rolled oats. Oatmeal is high in fiber and resistant starch, which helps you feel satisfied longer while also shuttling toxins from the body. I also add both chia and hemp seed for extra fiber, healthy omega-3 fatty acids, and protein. The chia seeds expand and give the mixture a bubble-tea style, pudding like consistency.

Tip: Make a batch of jars at once, and then you’ll have grab-and-go breakfast for the next few days!

Serves 1.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 ripe banana
  • 1 cup of unsweetened plant-based milk (i.e. hemp, coconut, etc.)
  • 1/3 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats (or steel cut)
  • A dash of vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon of hemp seed
  • a pinch of sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon of unsweetened cacao powder
  • 1-2 tablespoons of unsweetened organic peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, if desired

Directions

  • Step 1

    Use a fork to mash the banana in the base of a 16-ounce mason jar.

  • Step 2

    Then add the plant based milk and give it a stir. Next, add the oats, vanilla, seeds, sea salt, and cacao powder. Whisk until the ingredients are incorporated.

  • Step 3

    Now, stir in 1 tablespoon of peanut butter. It won’t be fully incorporated, but that’s okay. The next morning, it’ll be kind of like the caramel ribbons you find in ice cream.

  • Step 4

    Give everything a good stir, screw on a lid, and put in the fridge overnight.

  • Step 5

    In the morning, stir the mixture. You might want to add a splash more milk, another tablespoon of peanut butter, or some maple syrup. Fresh berries or banana slices are always nice here, too.

    Enjoy!
