Ingredients
Method
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In your jar or bowl, add the 50g of rolled oats, 1 tbsp of chia seeds, and the pinch of sea salt. Give them a quick stir to combine.
- Add Wet Ingredients: To the same jar, add the 120ml milk, 75g Greek yoghurt, 2 tbsp peanut butter, 1 tbsp maple syrup, and ½ tsp vanilla extract.
- Mix Thoroughly: This is the most important step. Use a fork or a small whisk to stir everything together vigorously for about a minute. I find that a fork is best for breaking up any clumps of peanut butter and ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Scrape down the sides of the jar as you go.
- Check Consistency: The mixture should be well-combined, thick, and relatively smooth. It will seem a little more liquid than you might expect, but it will thicken considerably in the fridge.
- Seal and Chill: Secure the lid on your jar or cover your bowl tightly. Place it in the fridge to set for at least 4 hours, though leaving it overnight yields the best texture.
- Serve: The next morning, open the jar and give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is thicker than you'd like, stir in an extra splash of milk to loosen it to your desired consistency.
- Add Toppings: Top your peanut butter oats with a dollop of jam, a sprinkle of chopped peanuts, and some fresh banana slices before serving.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For a vegan version, substitute whole milk with oat milk and use a plant-based yogurt.
