Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice
  • 1/2 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 tbsp yogurt (optional)
  • 1 tsp chia seeds (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Equipment

  • jar with lid or airtight container
  • fork
  • spoon
  • measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Mash the ripe banana in a jar or bowl using a fork until mostly smooth with small lumps remaining.
  2. Add the rolled oats and milk to the mashed banana. Stir thoroughly so all oats are evenly coated and submerged.
  3. Mix in yogurt, chia seeds, and cinnamon if using. Stir again to fully combine.
  4. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, until thick and creamy.
  5. Stir well before serving. Add a splash of milk if needed to adjust consistency, then enjoy cold.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and creaminess. For thicker oats, add 1 tablespoon yogurt or 1 teaspoon chia seeds. If the texture feels too thick in the morning, stir in 1–2 tablespoons milk before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days and add fresh toppings just before eating.
