Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Mash the banana in a jar or bowl until mostly smooth.
- Add the rolled oats, milk, vanilla extract, sweetener (if using), salt, and chia seeds. Stir well to combine.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
- In the morning, stir the oats and top with your choice of nuts, extra banana slices, or coconut flakes.
- Enjoy cold or microwave for 30–60 seconds if you prefer it warm.
Notes
- Use spotty, ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Swap banana for applesauce or mashed mango for variety.
- Add peanut butter for richness and protein.
- Top with cinnamon, nuts, or a drizzle of chocolate for texture.
- Use plant-based milk and skip honey for a vegan version.
