If you are bored with your morning meals or you find yourself skipping breakfast on hectic mornings, you may want to try this recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats. It's a fast, satisfying, and delicious meal!

Ideally, I'd love to sit down on weekday mornings and enjoy vegan waffles or vegan eggs benedict, with vegan rice paper bacon and freshly squeezed orange juice with my family, but we usually just have something quick and head out the door.

However, fast doesn't mean bland, boring, or unhealthy. The kiddos will love these overnight oats too and they won't even know that it's good for them. Especially with this chocolate, banana, and peanut butter combination.

This recipe requires simple and wholesome ingredients and it's so easy to customize that you'll never get bored. It's the perfect portable meal to add to your breakfast rotation.

• Banana -  I recommend using a spotty, overripe banana for optimal flavor and subtle sweetness.
• Rolled oats - It's best to use old-fashioned rolled oats because they will soften beautifully and absorb the non-dairy milk without getting mushy.
• Non-dairy milk - any variety will work here such as almond, soy, rice, coconut, or cashew milk.
• Chia seeds - this will thicken everything up perfectly. They are good for you, too!
• Cocoa powder - you can also use cacao powder.
• Peanut butter - you can use any type of nut butter such as almond, cashew, or walnut. If you can't have nuts, you can use any type of seed butter such as sunflower or pumpkin. The flavor will vary but it'll still be delicious!
• Maple syrup - this adds a subtle sweetness along with the ripened banana. You can use any type of sweetener or you can omit the sweetener if preferred.
• Vanilla extract - this complements the banana, chocolate, and peanut butter nicely, but it's completely optional.
• Sea salt - Just a pinch will bring the flavors together.

1. Mash banana on the bottom of a 16-ounce jar or small bowl.
2. Now add the remaining ingredients of milk, oats, cocoa powder, peanut butter, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt.
3. Stir well to combine or cover the jar with a lid and shake. Place covered in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight.
