2. Ingredients
- 50 g Rolled oats

3. Instructions
5 StepsAdd the rolled oats, protein powder, and ground cinnamon into a wide ceramic mixing bowl. Whisk thoroughly with a fork for 30 seconds until the protein powder is evenly distributed and free of lumps.
Peel the banana and slice in half. Place half the banana into a shallow dish and mash with a fork until mostly smooth with light texture. Add the mashed banana and milk to the oat mixture, stirring until all oats are moistened.
Dollop in the plain Greek yogurt and sprinkle in the chia seeds. Stir vigorously in circular motions until the mixture takes on a thick, pudding-like consistency and the chia seeds are evenly suspended.
Cover the bowl tightly with beeswax wrap or transfer the mixture into a glass mason jar with a sealed lid. Transfer to the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, allowing the oats to soften and absorb the liquids.
Before serving, slice the remaining half banana into uniform coins and arrange them on top. Warm the peanut butter slightly for 10 seconds if needed, then drizzle generously across the bowl. Serve chilled.
