Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup quinoa flakes
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons hemp seeds
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1-2 tablespoons honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup (optional)
For Serving
- 1-2 tablespoons chocolate chips
- 1-2 tablespoons chopped walnuts

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add rolled oats, quinoa flakes, milk, plain Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, hemp seeds, vanilla extract, and the mashed ripe banana. Add honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup if you prefer extra sweetness.
- Mix Well: Stir all the ingredients thoroughly until fully combined, ensuring the banana and cocoa powder are evenly mixed into the oats and liquid base.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Transfer the mixture into jars or an airtight container and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats and quinoa flakes to soak and soften.
- Serve and Garnish: Before serving, swirl in peanut butter for additional flavor if desired. Top with sliced banana, chopped walnuts, and chocolate chips to add texture and enhance the taste.
