Gluten Free Avocado Banana Bread

This one is GOOD. We had bananas AND avocados that needed to be used ASAP so I decided to make a variation of our banana bread. It took me a few tries to get the ingredients right and about a year to post this recipe. ;-) I love to eat a slice with my breakfast or before my workout.

Seriously, I can't believe it has taken me this long to make Peanut Butter Banana Protein Bars! When I posted our very popular Peanut Butter Banana Breakfast Loaf on Facebook, it hit me that I should make that recipe into protein bars. I actually didn't use the recipe itself though. I took our normal protein bar base recipe (similar to the recipe to the Chocolate Chunk Protein Bars) and just added banana and peanut butter. It was very easy and I probably ate too much of the batter. ;-)

Trust me, these will not disappoint!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Mason Jar Overnight Oats

DISCLOSURE: This post is sponsored by Kohl's. Thank you for supporting He and She Eat Clean.

Wow. I should have started making these years ago! Just like with spiralizing vegetables, we are a little late to the game on overnight oats in a mason jar…but better late than never! We have a ton of oat recipes (like one of our most popular, Apple Cinnamon Steel Cut Oats) but many of them require a crock pot which also means more clean up.

Enter mason jar oats.

I actually have tried these once before but obviously did something wrong because I didn't like them. We've been super busy lately so I decided to give them another chance as a way to speed up our mornings. I must say I was successful this time!

This particular combination reminds me of our Banana Peanut Butter Protein Shake which is basically the best protein shake ever. So this is like eating that shake. Amazing.

You really don't need much for these so they are prefect for those on a budget. I recommend buying a set of 8 oz mason jars. You'll want all 12 to try different flavors – trust me! Plus, I love drinking juice and flavored water out of mason jars. Mason jars make everything better. It's a fact.

Mason Jar Overnight Oats

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana

Ingredients:

• ½ cup quick oats
• ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1-2 tsp honey or maple syrup
• 1 Tbsp peanut or almond butter
• ½ banana, mashed
• 1/8 tsp vanilla
• 2 squares of dark chocolate (choose quality chocolate 70% or higher)

Directions:

1. Mash banana and break up chocolate (I usually use a meat tenderizer for these tasks!)
2. Add all ingredients to a mason jar and stir to combine
3. Cover with lid and store in refrigerator for a few hours or overnight if you are making these the night before

Once ready just stir and eat – these are tasty cold but can also be heated up! These make a perfect meal paired with eggs or a protein shake!

Note: For these pictures I doubled the recipe so don't be alarmed if yours doesn't seem to fill up the mason jar as much.

Kohl's #MakeYourMove campaign isn't only about moving, it's about living an overall healthy lifestyle. We are all busy but taking a few minutes each night or even just a few nights a week to prepare food in advance will set you up on the road to success!
