Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (old fashioned)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened oat milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 teaspoons honey (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the mashed banana, rolled oats, Greek yogurt, oat milk, chia seeds, honey, and vanilla extract into a jar, container, or bowl.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring the oats and chia seeds are evenly distributed in the liquid.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 3 to 4 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
  4. Add Toppings and Serve: Before eating, add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds to enhance flavor and texture. Grab a spoon and enjoy your nutritious breakfast!

Notes

  • You can substitute oat milk with any milk of your choice like almond, cow's milk, or soy milk.
  • For additional texture and flavor, try topping with sliced almonds, berries, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
  • If you prefer a sweeter taste, adjust the honey quantity to your liking.
  • Overnight oats can be prepared in larger batches and stored for up to 3 days in the fridge.
