→ Toppings and Garnishes
08 -
1 ripe banana, sliced
09 -
2 tablespoons cacao nibs (optional)
# Steps:
01 -
Pour the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt into a mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly to coat the oats with the cocoa and salt.
02 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, peanut butter, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and the peanut butter is fully incorporated.
03 -
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until no dry oats remain. The mixture will look thick but will absorb liquid while chilling.
04 -
Divide the mixture evenly into jars or containers, seal tightly, and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight. This allows the oats to soften and flavors to meld.
05 -
Stir the oats before serving. Top with sliced banana and optionally garnish with cacao nibs for added texture and flavor.
# Notes:
01 -
Chilling the oats overnight ensures optimal softness and flavor.
