Ingredients

1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats gluten-free, as needed
1/3 cup Greek yogurt or regular yogurt use your favorite flavor or plain, I used Chobani blueberry Greek yogurt
1/3 cup milk unsweetened vanilla almond milk is my favorite
1/2 of a ripe banana mashed (you can reserve the other half for slicing and topping the oats before eating, if you'd like)
1 tablespoon chia seeds optional, but helps to thicken oats
stevia or other sweetener like honey or maple syrup optional
toppings of your choice I really love this topped with crunchy granola or cereal and fresh blueberries *wait to top your oats until your ready to eat, not before refrigerating

Instructions

Stir all ingredients (except toppings) together in a jar or other covered dish.
Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least several hours.
When you're ready for breakfast, take oats out of the fridge, add a splash of milk and favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

To store overnight oatmeal:

Refrigerate: Keep your oats in an airtight container or mason jar in the fridge for up to 5 days. Stir before serving and add more milk if needed.
Freezing: You can freeze overnight oats in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before eating.
Toppings: Add fresh toppings (like blueberries or nuts) right before serving to keep them fresh and crunchy.
