Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (470 ml) rolled oats
- 2 cups (470 ml) milk
- 1 cup (240 ml) mashed banana (2 ripe bananas)
Flavor Enhancers:
- 4 tablespoons (60 ml) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
Seeds:
- 4 tablespoons (60 ml) chia seeds
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, amalgamate rolled oats, chia seeds, and salt, ensuring thorough distribution of dry components.
- Incorporate brown sugar, mashing ripe bananas into a silky consistency and blending them seamlessly with the dry mixture.
- Infuse the blend with cinnamon and vanilla extract, creating an aromatic foundation.
- Pour milk into the mixture, stirring vigorously until ingredients merge into a homogeneous texture without residual clumps.
- Hermetically seal the container with a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap, allowing no air exposure.
- Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight (8-12 hours), enabling oats and chia seeds to absorb liquid and develop a luxurious, creamy consistency.
- Upon removal from refrigerator, gently redistribute ingredients with a spoon to reintegrate settled components.
- Transfer to serving bowls, customizing with preferred embellishments such as fresh berries, chopped nuts, or yogurt dollops.
- Savor immediately, relishing the rich, velvety texture and nuanced sweetness of the overnight oats.
Notes
- Boost the protein content by mixing in a scoop of your favorite protein powder for a post-workout breakfast.
- Swap dairy milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk to create a delightful dairy-free version that’s equally creamy and satisfying.
- Prevent banana browning by adding a splash of lemon juice when mashing, which keeps the mixture looking fresh and appetizing.
