Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed banana (about 1 large banana)
- 2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned rolled oats)
- 3 tbsp brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 cups milk (cow’s milk or any plant milk)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Toss briefly so the sugar and spices are evenly distributed.
- Pour in the milk and add the vanilla extract. Stir until the brown sugar dissolves and the mixture looks uniform.
- Mash the banana in a small bowl until mostly smooth, then add it to the oat mixture. Stir until the banana is fully incorporated.
- Stir in the chia seeds, making sure they are evenly distributed through the mixture.
- Divide the mixture into jars or airtight containers, leaving a little headspace for expansion.
- Refrigerate overnight (at least 6 hours, ideally 8–12) so the oats soften and flavors meld.
- In the morning, enjoy the oats cold straight from the jar, or warm briefly in the microwave if you prefer them hot.
Notes
Rolled oats absorb liquid best; quick oats will make a softer result. Adjust sweetness by tasting after chilling. Use airtight jars to prevent fridge odors.
