Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe bananas mashed
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 cups milk any kind
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup walnuts toasted and chopped
  • banana slices for topping
  • extra maple syrup for drizzling

Method
 

  1. **Mash.** Mash 2 ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until mostly smooth with small chunks.
  2. **Mix.** Add oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until combined.
  3. **Portion.** Divide the mixture among 4 mason jars or airtight containers.
  4. **Chill.** Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to 5 days.
  5. **Toast.** Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet for 3 minutes until fragrant. Store separately.
  6. **Serve.** When ready to eat, top with toasted walnuts, fresh banana slices, and an extra drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

Store in the fridge for up to 5 days in airtight jars. Eat cold or warm for 60 seconds in the microwave with a splash of milk. Use very ripe bananas with brown spots. They are sweeter and mash easier.
