Ingredients

Scale

Overnight Oats

  • 1 ripe banana
  • ½ cup old fashioned oats
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
  • 2 teaspoons real maple syrup
  • ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon coarse sea salt

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana: In a small bowl, mash the ripe banana thoroughly until smooth, ensuring there are no large chunks for a consistent texture.
  2. Combine oats and milk: Pour the whole milk into a mason jar or container with a lid, then stir in the old fashioned oats to start the soaking process.
  3. Add remaining ingredients: Stir in the mashed banana, real maple syrup, vanilla extract, coarse sea salt, ground cinnamon, and chopped pecans until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Refrigerate overnight: Seal the container with its lid and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours, allowing the oats to soften and flavors to meld for the best texture.
  5. Serve: In the morning, give the oats a quick stir. Enjoy them cold or warm up if you prefer a cozy breakfast.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and best flavor.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk.
  • Add fresh fruit or a dollop of yogurt on top for extra nutrition.
  • If warming, heat gently in the microwave or on the stove to avoid curdling.
  • Overnight soaking softens oats and enhances digestibility.
