Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats

- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)

- Mash the banana in a mixing bowl until mostly smooth with a few small lumps remain.

Notes
Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Blend peanut butter and milk thoroughly for a smoother base. Ripe bananas are key for natural sweetness and creaminess. Refrigerate for 6-8 hours for optimal texture. Can customize with cocoa powder, berries, or protein powder. Store leftovers in fridge up to 3 days; add milk before eating if too thick.
