Ingredients
  

For the Oats
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats Use quick oats for faster preparation, but they yield a softer texture.
  • 1 cup Milk Try almond milk for a nutty flavor or cow’s milk for traditional.
  • 1 large Banana Ripe bananas work best for sweetness; unsweetened applesauce can be a substitute.
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon Feel free to experiment with pumpkin spice for a seasonal twist.
  • 2 tbsp Honey Optional; use maple syrup or agave for a vegan option.
  • 1 pinch Salt Balances flavors and enhances sweetness.
For Toppings (Optional)
  • 1 large Fresh Banana Slices Use them in the morning for added texture and freshness.
  • 1 tsp Extra Cinnamon A delightful dusting on top enhances the warm flavors.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large jar or bowl, add rolled oats, your choice of milk, one ripe mashed banana, a sprinkle of cinnamon, honey if desired, and a small pinch of salt. Stir vigorously until combined.
  2. Assess the texture of the mixture. Add more milk if it appears too dry, ensuring all oats are submerged.
  3. Cover the jar or bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  4. On the following morning, stir to recombine the ingredients and add a splash of milk if too thick.
  5. Slice an additional banana and sprinkle it on top for freshness; dust with extra cinnamon if desired.
