NomEatNom - Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

There are many, many flavor combinations that I love and adore.

Mint chocolate chip.

Rosemary and Kalamata olives.

Cucumber and Basil.

Chocolate cherry.

Lime and mint.

The list could go on and on.

But there is one combo that holds an extra special place in my heart: chocolate banana peanut butter.

OmNOMnomNOMnomNOMnomNOMnomNOMnom!!!!!

If you share my passion for this delectable trio, then prepare yourself.

You’re about to fall.

Hard.

Oh, but what a beautiful, tasty fall it will be!

You might recall me comparing the Berries and Cream Overnight Oats to a delicious yogurt parfait. Well, I’d have to compare this sweet little number to a cool, creamy pudding.

Hooray for a healthy, balanced breakfast that is just as much of a treat as dessert (if not more)!! 🙂

Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
(Serves 1)

Ingredients:

1/3 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup whole milk (I use raw milk, fresh from the farm)
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (make your own!)
1/4 cup mashed, ripe banana (about 1/2 of a small banana)
1/4 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. date sugar or raw honey (optional: I didn’t use any, as I found the banana sweetened it plenty, but you can certainly add some if you’d like!)
1 T all-natural peanut butter
Raw cacao nibs (or dark chocolate chips, if you prefer), for sprinkling

Combine all of the ingredients, except for the cacao nibs, in a jar (or bowl), and mix well. Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight. (Others have had success just leaving them to set for as little as an hour when in a pinch, but I haven’t tried this yet myself.)

In the morning, remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Sprinkle with raw cacao nibs, and then garnish with a few banana slices and extra oats, if desired.

Dig in!!

Feel free to put on your experimental chef’s hat and explore a variety of flavors! The jars will keep for several days in the fridge…so you can whip up a big batch on Sunday afternoon, and be set to breeze through the hectic weekday mornings ahead!

Do you have an all-time favorite flavor combo??
