Ingredients
- 1 very ripe banana, mashed
- 1 cup rolled oats (1/2 cup per serving)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons chocolate or vanilla protein powder (or sub in a bit of maple syrup)
- 2 tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter
- 1 cup pasteurized liquid egg whites
- 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative (or more as needed depending on desired thickness)
Toppings of your choice
- Sliced banana, drizzle of peanut butter, dark chocolate chips or sprinkle of unsweetened coconut
Instructions
- Divide the mashed banana, oats, cocoa powder, chia seeds, protein powder, peanut butter, liquid egg whites and milk between two mason jars or bowls. Give it a quick stir to combine.
- Cover the containers and allow the oats to sit in the fridge overnight or for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Taste. Stir in a bit of additional milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- To serve, top with some sliced bananas, a drizzle of peanut butter, chocolate chips and coconut or chopped peanuts, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use an overripe banana as this will help contribute extra sweetness to the oat mixture. Bananas that aren't ripe don't tend to be as sweet and have a stronger banana flavor.
- Make sure that you thoroughly mix in the peanut butter and banana into the oats so that the flavors are distributed evenly throughout the oat mixture.
- Be sure to mix the oat mixture well, folding it with a spoon or small spatula, as sometimes the cocoa powder or other ingredients may settle to the bottom of the bowl or jar.
- Sweeten the overnight oats to taste. Personally, I skip the maple syrup and just add a tablespoon of vanilla or chocolate protein powder and find that adds the perfect amount of sweetness and a little extra protein!
- The oats can be eaten cold, at room temperature or warm. If you would like to eat them warm, heat them in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
- The nutritional information is based on one jar of the overnight oats.
