Ingredients

Overnight Oats

  • ½ ripe (60 g) banana
  • 1-2 tbsp (10-20 g) chia seeds (depends on how thick you prefer it)
  • ½ cup (45 g) oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • ⅔ cup (160 ml) dairy-free milk (see notes)

Ganache (optional)

  • 1 ½ tbsp (24 g) peanut butter
  • 2 ½ tbsp (30 g) canned coconut milk
  • 8 g dairy-free chocolate
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 pinch of salt (optional)
  • A few drops of stevia to sweeten (optional)

Instructions

  • You can watch the short video for visual instructions.
    In a medium bowl, mash the banana and add it to a glass jar. Then add in chia seeds, oats, and plant-based milk. Stir with a spoon until well combined. Transfer the jar into your fridge.

Ganache:

  • Add the peanut butter, coconut milk, and dairy-free chocolate to a small bowl and melt the ingredients in a double boiler or microwave for 30 seconds. Stir to combine, remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  • Pour the ganache over the chia oat mixture and place the jar back into the fridge overnight or for at least 2 hours. Optionally, top with some peanuts and enjoy!

Notes

  • Dairy-free milk: Any milk is fine such as almond, coconut milk, oat milk, etc. If you are a celiac sufferer, make sure that your oat milk is gluten-free. 
  • The recipe makes just one serving (1 glass jar). If you want to make several servings for the whole week, adjust the serving size accordingly and prepare the recipe in a bowl, then divide the mixture into different glass jars.
  • The total time doesn't include chill time.
