Ingredients:

1 cup rolled oats
1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk
2 tablespoons chia seeds
2 ripe bananas, sliced
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Optional toppings: chopped nuts, honey, additional banana slices

Directions:

Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Sweeten to Taste: If desired, you can add a bit of sweetness to the mixture. You can either stir in a drizzle of honey or another sweetener of your choice. Adjust the sweetness to your preference.
Layer with Bananas: Take half of the sliced bananas and layer them at the bottom of your serving containers. This could be Mason jars, bowls, or any other containers you prefer.
Add the Oat Mixture: Pour the prepared oat and almond milk mixture over the sliced bananas in the containers. Make sure the mixture is distributed evenly among the containers.
Top with Remaining Bananas: Use the remaining sliced bananas to create another layer on top of the oat mixture in each container.
Seal and Refrigerate: Seal each container with a lid or plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator. Let the overnight oats sit and soak for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and become soft.
Serve and Enjoy: When ready to eat, remove the containers from the refrigerator and give the oats a good stir to mix the layers together. You can enjoy the overnight oats as they are, or you can add some extra toppings for added flavor and texture. Chopped nuts, a drizzle of honey, or additional banana slices work well as toppings.
