Ingredients
Scale
For the oats:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk of choice
For the banana mixture:
- 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts or pecans
- optional extra banana slices for serving
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Add the milk, mashed banana, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined.
- Fold in the walnuts or pecans. Divide the mixture evenly into two jars or containers with lids.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soften and absorb the flavors.
- In the morning, stir well and serve chilled or slightly warmed, topping with extra banana slices if desired.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, use half milk and half yogurt.
- You can add 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder for an extra boost.
- This recipe works well with plant-based milk and is naturally sweetened by the banana and maple syrup.
