Ingredients:
Wet:
½ medium banana, mashed
2 tablespoons peanut butter, creamy
1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt, plain
3/4 cup almond milk, unsweetened (I ended up using whole milk)
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry:
1 cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions:
1. First, mash 1/2 banana in a large bowl. Then add the rest of the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
2. Add in dry ingredients and mix again.
3. Place in the refrigerator, covered, for at least 2 hours or overnight. Serve cold.
I missed the note in the recipe where it says it makes two servings, until I was trying to find a container for it to put in the fridge. Mine was in the fridge overnight and it got extremely thick, like I turned the container upside down and it didn't even think about moving. The spoon stood up in it. I'm not sure if it was the whole milk over the skim milk or if it was supposed to be that way. I've made other overnight oats recipes and they didn't get quite that dense. It did make it a bit difficult to eat (eating it cold was almost a thick, dry paste), though it did have a good flavor. The next day, I heated up the second portion and stirred in a little bit of milk, it was more palatable, for me personally, that way. On the website, there is a variation with chocolate chips in it that sounds promising.
