Equipment

mason jar or airtight container
fork (for mashing banana)
– Mixing spoon

Ingredients

1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1/2 ripe banana, mashed
1 pinch cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

Mash the ripe banana in a mason jar or airtight container until smooth.
Pour in milk and stir to combine with the mashed banana.
Add rolled oats and mix thoroughly.
Sprinkle cinnamon if desired and stir well.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Stir before serving and top with fresh banana slices if desired.

Notes

Use a ripe banana with brown speckles for best sweetness and texture. Mash thoroughly before mixing. Soak at least 4 hours or overnight. If too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons milk and stir. If too runny, add 1 tablespoon oats or 1 teaspoon chia seeds and refrigerate 30 more minutes. Store in airtight jars up to 4 days. Add fresh banana slices just before serving.
