Course: Breakfast
Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 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
  • teaspoon coarse sea salt

Instructions

  • Mash the banana in a small bowl until it’s nice and smooth.
  • Pour the milk into a mason jar or container with a lid, then stir in the oats.
  • Add the mashed banana, maple syrup, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, and chopped nuts. Give everything a good stir until it’s well combined.
  • Pop the lid on and place it in the fridge overnight — or at least 4 hours if you’re in a hurry. (Overnight gives the best texture, in my opinion.)
  • In the morning, just give it a quick stir and dig in. You can eat it cold or warm it up if you prefer it cozy.
