Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats Quick oats can be used, but the texture will be a bit different.
  • 1 cup Milk Use any milk you prefer—almond, oat, or full dairy work wonderfully.
  • 1 large Banana Ripe bananas are ideal; replace with applesauce if needed.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Pumpkin spice can also be used for a festive twist; omitting it is fine if allergies are a concern.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey (optional) Substitute with maple syrup or agave for a vegan option.
  • 1 pinch Salt Balances sweetness and enhances overall flavor.
For Toppings
  • 1 banana Extra Banana Slices
  • 1/4 cup Nuts or Seeds A handful of almonds or chia seeds work perfectly!
  • 1/4 cup Dried Fruits Use raisins or cranberries for a burst of flavor and chewiness.
  • 1 dollop Yogurt A dollop adds creaminess and a tangy kick to your overnight oats.

Equipment

  • bowl or jar

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium-sized bowl or jar, combine rolled oats, milk of your choice, and a ripe mashed banana. Add ground cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and honey if desired, using a fork or spoon to mix thoroughly.
  2. Continue to stir the mixture vigorously until all ingredients are fully incorporated, creating a uniform consistency.
  3. Cover your jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  4. The following morning, remove the jar or bowl from the refrigerator. Give the oats a good stir to combine the ingredients again.
  5. Before enjoying, top your Banana Cinnamon Overnight Oats with extra banana slices, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or your favorite nuts and seeds.
  6. Scoop your Banana Cinnamon Overnight Oats directly from the jar or bowl and savor every bit!
