Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 1 ripe banana
- ½ cup old fashioned oats
- ½ cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
- 2 teaspoons real maple syrup
- ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon coarse sea salt
Instructions
- Mash the banana: In a small bowl, mash the ripe banana thoroughly until smooth and free of lumps, ensuring it will blend well with the other ingredients.
- Combine oats and milk: Pour the whole milk into a mason jar or any container with a lid, then stir in the old fashioned oats to start the soaking process.
- Add remaining ingredients: Add the mashed banana, real maple syrup, vanilla extract, coarse sea salt, ground cinnamon, and chopped pecans into the jar. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Refrigerate overnight: Seal the jar with the lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld for the best texture.
- Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir and enjoy. You can eat it cold straight from the fridge or warm it in the microwave if you prefer a cozy breakfast.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better texture.
- Old fashioned oats work best for a creamy yet textured oat base.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup as desired.
- Chopped pecans add a nice crunch, but you can substitute with walnuts or almonds.
- This recipe can be made vegan by substituting whole milk with almond or oat milk.
- Overnight soaking enhances digestibility and nutrient absorption of the oats.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
