Chunky Monkey Overnight Oats (Vegan!)
Satisfying, convenient, and packed with delicious "chunky monkey" flavors! An easy no-cook breakfast you can make ahead for busy mornings or grab-and-go snacks.
Servings: 1 large bowl
Ingredients
- 1/2 ripe banana
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (GF if desired)
- 1/2 cup dairy-free milk
- 2 tsp. chia seeds
- 2 tsp. cocoa powder
- 1-2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
- 2 Tbsp. peanut butter (creamy, natural)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, mash the banana.
- Then add the oats, milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and maple syrup. Stir well to combine.
- Add the peanut butter. (I like to drop mine in small dollops so there are clumps of peanut butter.) Gently stir to combine.
- Transfer mixture to a mason jar or small bowl. Then lightly press down with a spoon to make sure oats are fully immersed in the liquid.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 5 hours or overnight.
Notes
Serving: Enjoy as is, or top with fresh berries, sliced banana (I use the leftover 1/2 banana for serving), additional peanut butter, cacao nibs, etc.
Variations: Stir in 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract, 1/8 tsp. almond extract, ground cinnamon, etc.
Yield: Recipe makes about 1 heaping cup. (This is about one large serving or two smaller servings.)
