Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 4 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3-4 tablespoons brown sugar (dark brown sugar recommended)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (or more to taste)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed banana (about 2 ripe bananas)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based milk as preferred)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, brown sugar, mashed bananas, cinnamon, salt, vanilla extract, and milk. Stir all ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and uniform.
  2. Refrigerate Mixture: Cover the bowl tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator and chill the mixture for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors, thickening into a creamy consistency.
  3. Serve and Enjoy: When ready to eat, remove the oats from the refrigerator and top with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds, if desired. Serve cold and enjoy a nutritious, hassle-free breakfast.

Notes

  • You can use dark, light, or regular brown sugar according to your preference; this recipe was created using dark brown sugar for a richer flavor.
  • Feel free to substitute milk with any plant-based alternative like almond, oat, or soy milk to suit dietary needs.
  • Overnight oats keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them convenient for meal prep.
  • Adjust the amount of cinnamon and brown sugar to your taste for a sweeter or spicier profile.
