Ingredients:
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:
- Combine the Ingredients: In a medium bowl or a jar, mix together the rolled oats, milk, mashed banana, peanut butter, chia seeds (if using), honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If they are too thick, you can add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency. Top with sliced bananas, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips if desired.
