Equipment

1 jar or container with lid (at least 10 oz/300mL in size)

Ingredients

1 medium banana (ripe with a few brown spots)
¾ cup plain Greek yogurt (I prefer 2% for a creamier texture but any type will work)
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
⅓ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (large flake)
1 tablespoon chia seeds (or ground flaxseed)

Optional:

1 tablespoon peanut butter for topping

Instructions

In a bowl (or your jar or container, if it is big enough), mash the banana until mostly smooth.
1 medium banana
Add the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract and sea salt and stir well until fully combined.
¾ cup plain Greek yogurt, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
Stir in the rolled oats and chia seeds until evenly mixed.
⅓ cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Transfer to your container if you mixed in a bowl and cover. Let the oatmeal sit in the fridge for at least 4 hours (overnight is best for optimal texture).
In the morning, enjoy your delicious breakfast (that almost taste like banana bread!) as you get all ready for your busy day. Drizzle with peanut butter if you'd like.
If the oats are thicker than you would like, you can stir in a couple of tablespoons of milk or water before eating.
1 tablespoon peanut butter

Notes

Storage: Store overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Warm Overnight Oats: If you prefer to enjoy your oats warm, heat in the microwave, warm in 20 seconds bursts until they reach your desired temperature. Since my recipe is made with yogurt, DO NOT overheat or they may curdle.
