Creamy Delicious Banana Bread Oats Recipe Perfect Morning Start 🍌✨🥣
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (40g) rolled oats (old-fashioned, not instant)
1 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 ripe banana, mashed well
1 cup (240ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional, adjust to taste)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings: 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, sliced fresh banana, extra cinnamon
Directions:
1. Combine Ingredients: In a jar, glass, or bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, mashed banana, milk, maple syrup/honey (if using), vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
2. Stir Well: Stir everything together very well until thoroughly combined and the mashed banana is evenly distributed. Make sure the chia seeds are mixed in and not clumped.
3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator and let it soak overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours. The oats and chia seeds will absorb the liquid and soften, creating a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
4. Stir Before Serving: In the morning, give the overnight oats a good stir. If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency.
5. Add Toppings & Serve: Serve the banana bread overnight oats chilled. Top with chopped walnuts or pecans, fresh banana slices, and an extra sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
