Instructions:
- Combine the Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, milk, yogurt, mashed banana (or other fruit), honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Stir everything together until it’s well combined.
- Add Seeds and Extra Flavor: If you’re using chia seeds or flax seeds, add them into the mixture at this point. These add a nice boost of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. Mix everything until the seeds are evenly distributed.
- Chill or Cook (Depending on Your Preference):
- Overnight Oats: If you prefer a no-cook option, simply cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight. The oats will soak up the liquid, and in the morning, you’ll have a creamy, ready-to-eat breakfast.
- Cooked Option: If you prefer a warm breakfast, transfer the mixture to a saucepan and cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and the mixture has thickened to your liking.
- Add Toppings: Once the oats are ready, it’s time to add your favorite toppings. Fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, nut butter, or a sprinkle of granola are all great options. These additions add crunch, flavor, and extra nutrients.
- Enjoy! Whether you eat it right away or take it on the go, this breakfast is sure to start your day off right.
