Ingredients
  

For the Base

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 4 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3-4 tablespoons brown sugar adjust to taste
  • 1 cup mashed banana (about 2 ripe bananas)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (or more, to taste)
  • 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy as preferred)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, brown sugar, mashed bananas, cinnamon, salt, vanilla extract, and milk. Stir everything together until well combined.
  • Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best for the perfect texture.
  • When you’re ready to enjoy, stir the oat mixture again and top with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Should be consumed within 3-5 days. If you prefer your oats warm, microwave a portion for about 30 seconds, stirring halfway through.
