Description
Enjoy the cozy flavors of banana bread in a quick, spoonable breakfast that requires no cooking and is ready the next morning.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 banana, mashed
- 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Peel and mash the banana in a bowl or jar until mostly smooth with a few small chunks for texture. Measure out the rolled oats and milk so everything is ready to combine.
- In a jar or bowl, add the rolled oats, mashed banana, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and maple syrup (if using). Stir well until the oats are evenly coated and the banana mixes into the milk. Scrape the sides so nothing is left dry.
- Top with chopped walnuts or pecans if desired. Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours.
- In the morning, remove from the fridge and give the oats a good stir. Add an extra splash of milk if you like a thinner consistency. Garnish with more chopped nuts, a dusting of cinnamon, sliced banana, or a drizzle of maple syrup, then enjoy.
Notes
Serve chilled in a jar or bowl. Perfect for busy mornings and meal prep. Refrigerate for up to 3–4 days.
