Ingredients

For the Overnight Oats:

1 large banana - ripe See Note 1
1 cup (80 g) old fashioned rolled oats
1 ¼ cup (300 ml) milk - I use almond or oat See Note 2
1 tablespoon chia seeds See Note 3
2 teaspoon maple syrup
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Toppings (optional):

Greek yoghurt or coconut yoghurt
almonds or walnuts - roughly chopped
coconut flakes and banana - freshly sliced when serving

Instructions

In a medium-size bowl, mash the banana.
Add the oats, almond milk, chia, maple syrup and cinnamon to the mashed banana and mix well to combine.
Cover the bowl with clingwrap, or divide the mixture into two glasses or mason jars and cover. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
Serve with toppings of your choice and additional milk if the mixture is too thick.

Notes

Banana: for the best flavour and sweetness, make sure your banana is ripe.
Milk: use milk of your choice. I use almond or oat milk. Add more milk when serving if you prefer a thinner texture.
Tablespoon: we use a standard Australian tablespoon which is 20 ml (4 teaspoons). For readers located elsewhere in the world, please use 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon for each tablespoon listed.
Toppings: the toppings are optional (and are not included in the nutritional information). Use toppings of your liking - see suggestions above.
Storage: for the best taste and texture, enjoy the Banana Overnight Oats within three days.
