Banana, PB & J Overnight Oat Parfait

This recipe was born when I miss read this recipe. I thought it was for overnight oats, not a stove top parfait. So we I got everything to make it, and have it the next day for lunch at work I was like. Damn, I can't cook two separate batches of oatmeal at work. So I adapted it.

 

It was amazing. The raspberry oats doesn't work well by itself but when paired with the peanut butter oats (Which of course works. Peanut butter, banana and cinnamon. How can it not work?) it's fantastic. Especially when layered with gooey jam and sticky peanut butter.

 

 

Ingredients:

Peanut Butter Oats:

1/2 Cup/40g Rolled Oats

Pinch of Salt

1/2 Cup/180ml Milk of Choice

2-3 TBSP Peanut Butter OR 3 Servings of PB2 (This is what I used)

1/2 Ripe Banana, mashed

1 TBSP Chia Seeds

1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract

Dash of Cinnamon

 

Raspberry Oats:

1/2 Cup/40g Rolled Oats

Pinch of Salt

1/2 Cup/180ml Milk of Choice

1/3 Cup Fresh Raspberries OR 1 Cup Frozen and thawed

1/2 Ripe Banana, mashed

1/4 Tsp Vanilla Extract

1 TBSP Chia Seeds

 

2-3 TBSP Jam, I used Strawberry

1-2 TBSP Peanut Butter, or PB2

Method:

Peanut Butter Oats:

1. Mix the oats and salt. Use some of the milk to make the PB2 (Or if using real peanut butter just add in all the milk at the end) Add the PB2/Peanut Butter to the oats, the vanilla and cinnamon. Mix. Add the chia seeds and then the milk and stir thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least four hours.

Raspberry Oats:

1. Mix the oats and salt. Mash the raspberries with the banana and add the vanilla. Add the chia seeds and then the milk. Stir thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least four hours.

 

In the Morning layer the oats with the PB2/peanut butter and Jam. Add some peanuts or more fruit on top if desired. Enjoy!
