Ingredients
Base Layer
- 1/4 cup Quick-Cooking Oats
- 1/4 cup Milk
Banana-Cocoa Layer
- 1 Banana mashed
- 2 tsp Cocoa Powder unsweetened
Apple-Oat Layer
- 1/4 cup Quick-Cooking Oats
- 1/4 cup Milk
- 1/2 cup Apple grated
Topping
- 1/4 cup Granola
Instructions
- In a mason jar or large glass, create the base layer by adding ¼ cup of quick-cooking oats. Pour ¼ cup of milk over the oats, allowing them to soak slightly.
- In a small bowl, mash the banana. Add the unsweetened cocoa powder and mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Layer the banana-cocoa mixture over the oat base in the jar.
- Add another layer of ¼ cup quick-cooking oats, followed by ¼ cup of milk. This layering helps create a balanced texture and prevents the oats from becoming too soggy.
- Sprinkle the grated apple over the oat layer, adding a refreshing crunch.
- Top with granola for added texture and flavor. Seal the jar with a lid and refrigerate for at least 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This also softens the oats further.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Modify the ingredients as per your choice. Add chia seeds or nuts.
- Top with any granola, muesli, or fruits.
- You can make it overnight and keep it in the fridge to save time in the morning.
- Add any healthy sweetener if you prefer a sweeter dish.
- Experiment with any fruits.
- Layer sliced bananas at the bottom of the jar to prevent the oats from sticking and to naturally sweeten the base.
- For extra texture and sustained energy, add a tablespoon of chia seeds or chopped nuts (such as walnuts or almonds) between the layers.
- For a vegan version, substitute dairy milk with almond, soy, or oat milk. For a richer chocolate flavor, try adding a splash of coconut milk along with the cocoa powder.
- To prevent sliced apples from browning, toss them in a little lemon juice before adding to the jar.
Expert Tips
- For a creamier texture, use rolled oats instead of quick-cooking oats.
- If you’re short on time in the morning, prepare individual portions in separate jars or containers.
- Get creative with your toppings! Consider adding toasted coconut flakes, dried cranberries, or a drizzle of nut butter.
Storage Instructions
- Store overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
