Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 4 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3-4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (or more to taste)
  • 1 pinch salt

Wet Ingredients

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

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 thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and evenly mixed.
  2. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors to meld.
  3. Serve and Top: When ready to eat, give the oats a good stir and add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of nut butter for added texture and flavor. Enjoy chilled.

Notes

  • You can use dark, light, or regular brown sugar; this recipe was originally created with dark brown sugar for a deeper molasses flavor.
  • Feel free to substitute milk with any plant-based milk like almond, oat, or soy for a dairy-free version.
  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar and cinnamon to your taste preferences for desired sweetness and spice level.
  • For a thicker consistency, use less milk; for creamier oats, add a splash more milk before serving.
