Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats Not the instant kind
  • 1/2 cup milk Use 2 percent, almond, or oat milk
  • 1/2 piece banana The riper, the better
  • a handful fresh blueberries Can use frozen blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds Optional for thickness
  • a dash cinnamon Optional for flavor
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup Adjust based on sweetness preference
  • a pinch salt Essential for flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grab a jar or a bowl.
  2. Dump in your oats, milk, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Mix it around a bit.
  3. Mash the banana with a fork and stir it in.
  4. Add blueberries, using frozen ones directly from the freezer if preferred.
  5. Drizzle on honey or syrup if desired.
  6. Cover and stick it in the fridge overnight or for at least four hours.
  7. Wake up, give it one last stir, and enjoy your breakfast.

Notes

For creaminess, use full-fat milk or add yogurt. If the oats look dry after chilling, splash in a bit more milk when ready to eat. Remaining oats can be stored in a tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
