Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon chia seeds
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
1 banana, sliced
2 tablespoons chopped peanuts
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, stir together the rolled oats, unsweetened cocoa powder, chia seeds, and salt.
2. Add the milk, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
3. Divide the mixture evenly between 2 jars or airtight containers.
4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best texture.
5. Stir before serving and add a splash of milk if you want a looser consistency.
6. Top with mini chocolate chips, sliced banana, and chopped peanuts before serving.
Notes
Do not skip stirring the mixture well before chilling, or the cocoa powder and peanut butter can stay clumpy instead of blending into a smooth, creamy oat base.
