Instructions

Combine Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, brown sugar, mashed bananas, cinnamon, salt, and milk. Stir until well combined, ensuring the oats are fully submerged in the milk and the mixture is creamy.
Refrigerate:
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This allows the oats to soak up the liquid and soften, creating a creamy texture.
Serve & Enjoy:
When ready to serve, stir the oats to mix everything together. Add your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey, and enjoy your comforting, naturally sweet breakfast.

Notes

Sweetness: Adjust the brown sugar to your taste preference. Maple syrup or honey are also great natural sweeteners.
Non-Dairy Option: Use almond, oat, or coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
Add-ins: Boost flavor with nuts, dried fruit, or nut butter for extra protein.
Spices: Try adding nutmeg or pumpkin spice for a seasonal flavor twist.
