Instructions

Add Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, brown sugar, mashed ripe bananas, ground cinnamon, salt, and milk. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well mixed and the mixture begins to thicken.
Refrigerate: Cover the bowl tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the oats to soak and absorb the flavors for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to achieve a creamy, pudding-like texture.
Serve: When ready to eat, give the oats a good stir and add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor. Enjoy cold or at room temperature.

Notes

For a vegan option, use plant-based milk such as almond, soy, or oat milk.
Adjust the quantity of brown sugar to taste for desired sweetness.
Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Feel free to vary toppings according to season and preference.
