Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 3/4 cup milk of choice
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 pinch salt
  • Optional toppings: chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, extra banana slices

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  3. Sprinkle in the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until fully combined and no dry pockets remain.
  4. Divide the mixture evenly between two 12-ounce jars or airtight containers.
  5. Seal the jars with lids and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. Before eating, stir the oats well. Add a splash of milk if desired for a looser texture. Top with optional toppings and serve.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free oats. The oats keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. Do not use quick oats as they will become mushy.
