Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup quick oats
  • 1/2 cup milk any kind
  • 1/2 medium banana sliced
  • 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup blueberries divided
  • to taste monk fruit sweetener, stevia, or your favorite sweetener optional
  • pinch cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp chopped pecans or any nuts or seeds

Instructions

  • In your mason jar or container, start by adding 1/4 cup quick oats and 1/2 tbsp chia seeds. Pour in 1/2 cup of your preferred milk. Stir well to combine so the oats begin soaking evenly.
  • Slice half a medium banana and add it to the mixture along with half of your blueberries (about 1/4 cup). Sprinkle in a pinch of cinnamon for warmth and flavor.
  • If desired, add a pinch of monk fruit sweetener, stevia, or your favorite natural sweetener. Since the banana and blueberries add natural sugars, this step is optional—taste test and adjust accordingly.
  • Give everything a good stir to combine all ingredients evenly. Seal the jar or container tightly with a lid.
  • Place the jar in your fridge and let the oats soak overnight, or for at least 6 hours. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the milk and flavors, creating a creamy texture.
  • In the morning, stir your oats well. Top with the remaining sliced banana, blueberries, and 1 tablespoon of chopped pecans or your favorite nuts/seeds for extra crunch. Enjoy cold or warm it up slightly if you prefer.

Equipment

  • Mason jar or small airtight container
  • Measuring Spoons and Cups
  • Spoon or small whisk
  • Knife and cutting board

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, use oat or almond milk and add a splash of milk in the morning before serving.
  • Make several jars ahead and store in the fridge for up to 3 days; keep toppings separate until ready to eat.
  • Customize with seasonal fruits and spices like pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, or tropical fruits for variety.
