Make it PB & J!

1/4 cup (60 mL) peanut butter
1/4 cup (60 mL) raspberry jam
fresh raspberries, for serving

Instructions

Whisk together milk, yogurt, banana, 2 Tbsp (30 mL) peanut butter, maple syrup and salt in a medium-sized bowl.
Add oats and lentils to the bowl and stir to combine.
Place 1/4 cup (60 mL) peanut butter in the bottom of a container. Use a spoon to smear up the sides. Add the oat base, and top with jam. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Alternatively, divide peanut butter between 4 mason jars or cups, and gently smear up the sides of the jar. Divide oat base into each jar and top with the jam. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to serve, garnish with fresh raspberries and enjoy!

Notes

Cooking red split lentils is quick and easy! In a medium pot, bring 1/3 cup (75 mL) dry red split lentils (rinsed & drained) and 1 cup (250 mL) water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5-7 minutes or until lentils are soft and cooked through, adding more water as needed. Drain and rinse with cool water and set aside to cool.
