Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

2 ripe bananas (one for mixing and one for topping)

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (or your favorite nut butter)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

A pinch of salt

Chopped nuts and/or additional banana slices for topping

Instructions
 

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and salt. Use a whisk to mix all the ingredients until well blended and the peanut butter is fully incorporated into the mixture.

    Slice one of the ripe bananas and add it to the oat mixture. Gently stir to combine, ensuring the banana is distributed throughout.

      Divide the mixture evenly among jars or airtight containers, filling them about three-quarters full. This allows for expansion and toppings.

        Seal the jars tightly and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to soak and absorb the flavors.

          In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If they are too thick for your liking, add a splash more milk to achieve your desired consistency.

            Top each serving with sliced banana, a drizzle of additional peanut butter, and your choice of chopped nuts for a delightful crunch.

              Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Peanut Butter Banana Dream Oats cold or heat them up in the microwave if you prefer them warm!
