Description
Warm, cozy flavors without any cooking—this brown sugar overnight oats recipe is a dreamy, grab-and-go breakfast that feels indulgent but keeps it clean. Mashed banana adds natural sweetness and creaminess in place of yogurt, while a dash of cinnamon and brown sugar make it taste like dessert-for-breakfast (in the best way).
Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1 ripe banana, mashed
1 tbsp brown sugar (adjust to taste)
1¼ cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
1 tbsp chia seeds (for thickening + fiber)
½ tsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Optional toppings: sliced banana, chopped nuts, nut butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup
Instructions
In a mixing bowl or jar, combine mashed banana, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Stir in oats, chia seeds, and milk. Mix well until fully combined.
Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4–6 hours).
In the morning, stir and serve chilled or warmed up, topped with your favorite extras.
