Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Ripe Banana
  • ½ cups Old Fashioned Oats
  • ½ cups Whole Milk
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Pecans
  • 2 teaspoons Real Maple Syrup
  • ½ tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon Coarse Sea Salt

Equipment

  • 1 Mason Jar with Lid 14-16 Ounce

Method
 

  1. Place the banana in a small bowl and smash it well.
  2. Add the milk to a mason jar and add the oats to the milk.
  3. Add the banana, syrup, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, and chopped nuts to the jar.
  4. Stir well and secure the lid on the jar.
  5. Place in the fridge to chill overnight or for at least 4 hours (I like it best overnight).
  6. Stir before eating or heat it up if you prefer. Enjoy!

Notes

  • I store these in sealed mason jars, in the fridge, for up to 5 days. Do not freeze. Perfect for making a few days in advance.
  • You can use walnuts in place of the pecans, or whatever you prefer on hand. 
  • Adjust syrup to your preferred sweetness level. More syrup can be added as you’re getting ready to eat it, if need be.
  • Other sweeteners are just fine, in place of the syrup, but it’s important to note that removing the syrup will change the flavor noticeably.
