Banana Nut PB Overnight Oats

I love me some overnight oats. I always seem to make this and figured I'd post it up. I think the combination of banana, peanut butter and chocolate is really delicious. This recipe has a slight hint of peanut butter and a delicious crunch from the added pecans. Try it out for your next breakfast. No need to heat. Just pack overnight in the fridge and enjoy the next morning.


Ingredients
1/2 - 1 medium banana, mushed
1 tbsp Chocolate PB2* or regular peanut butter
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup instant oats (old-fashioned oats work fine; steel cut oats may be a bit crunchy)
1 cup light soy milk
1 tbsp chopped pecans

Mush the banana in a mason jar or bowl. Add the cinnamon, cocoa powder, and PB2 and mix well. You can also use regular peanut butter but note the added calories and fat. Add your oats and mix well. Add your soy milk and remember it will thicken.

The next day, top with chopped pecans and enjoy!


*PB2 is powdered peanut butter. It comes in regular flavor and chocolate flavor. It contains 85% less calories than than regular peanut butter (45 calories per 2 tbsp and 4g of protein, compared to 188 calories, and about 8g of protein in regular peanut butter). You mix it with water to get the peanut butter consistency.
