The perfect grab-and-go breakfast that can be prepared the night before. Naturally sweetened with ripe banana and maple syrup, and flavoured with peanut butter and crunchy pecans, this is my all-time favourite combination!
Ingredients
¼ cup oats (I prefer old-fashioned, but quick cook works fine)
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp cinnamon
¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
A splash of vanilla
½ ripe banana, sliced
1 tbsp natural peanut butter
1 tsp maple syrup
A small handful of pecans, toasted*
Instructions
In a small bowl or jar, combine oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, almond milk, and vanilla. Cover and chill in refrigerator overnight, at least 8 hours.
Before serving, microwave sliced bananas and peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl for 20 seconds, or until bananas are soft and peanut butter is melted. Add to chilled oats.
Drizzle in maple syrup and top with pecans; stir until combined. Enjoy!
Notes
*To toasted pecans: Spread pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 350⁰F for 7 to 8 minutes until fragrant. Keep a close eye on it as pecans will turn from perfectly toasted to burnt in seconds!
