How to use this list
Start by gathering all the ingredients and supplies: ripe bananas, milk, plain Greek yogurt, creamy peanut butter, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, kosher salt, old-fashioned rolled oats, chia seeds, and five 20-ounce freezer-safe jars with lids. Mash the bananas first, then mix in the milk, yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the oats and chia seeds last. Divide the mixture evenly into the five jars. Seal tightly. Put four jars in the refrigerator (keep at 40°F or colder) and freeze the fifth. Move the frozen jar to the fridge the night before you plan to eat it.
Common mistakes
Don’t use instant oats—they’ll get mushy. Stick with old-fashioned rolled oats for the right texture. Avoid overfilling jars; leave space at the top so the oats can expand. Make sure the jars are truly freezer-safe before freezing one. If you use unripe bananas, the flavor will be bland. Don’t forget to label the frozen jar with the date.
What is on this list

Before you go
Check your fridge and pantry for bananas, milk, yogurt, peanut butter, and oats before buying more. Make sure your jars have tight-fitting lids and are clean. Plan to set aside about 15 minutes for prep. After filling the jars, wipe the rims before sealing to keep lids from sticking. Place the jars in the coldest part of your fridge. Remember to move the frozen jar to the fridge the day before you need it so it thaws safely.
