Equipment

  • Mason jar or sealable bowl
  • spoon
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • Measuring Spoons

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt flavored or plain
  • ½ small banana (optional) sliced or mashed
  • ½ cup dry oats like old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 1-2 teaspoon peanut butter powder optional
  • ½ cup frozen berries or other fruit
  • ½ cup milk or more if desired
  • 1+ teaspoon sweetener (optional) honey, maple syrup, brown or white sugar, etc

Instructions

  • Add ½ c Greek yogurt, ½ banana, ½ c old fashioned rolled oats to a mason jar or travel bowl, layer in fruit, peanut butter powder, and chia seeds (in no particular order). Cover oats with ½ c milk. 
    You don't need to stir overnight oats, as long as you layer in the yogurt, banana (optional) and then oats and remaining ingredients. The yogurt and banana block liquid from soaking into the oats, so they won't soften in the fridge.
  • Refrigerate at least overnight, or for up to 4 days. Grab in the morning, and enjoy hot or cold.

Notes

  • Old fashioned oats work best because they don't get mushy (like quick cook oats) and aren't too chewy (like steel cut oats).
  • Use whatever fresh or frozen fruit you have on hand like strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, peaches, mango, apple, & banana.
  • Other great toppings: Fresh fruit, nut butter, flax seeds, chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla, or jam.
  • If you have a narrow jar or bowl, add the milk in before the yogurt so you don't have to stir!
  • If yogurt blocks milk from soaking into the oats, secure a lid on top and shake until oats are submerged. Stir before eating.
