Ingredients
½ ripe banana, mashed
½ cup gluten-free oats
2 tbsp 2 chia seeds

1 cup 1 almond milk

1 tbsp 1 maple syrup
Directions
- In an 12oz jar, mash the banana until there are no big chunks. Add in the oats, chia seeds, and hemp seeds and stir to combine all ingredients.
- Pour in the almond milk, vanilla, and maple syrup and mix again until evenly mixed.
- Put a lid on the jar and refrigerate overnight to set. Keep refrigerated for up to five days.
This sounds great but must add here. I learned many years ago in a clinical conference on women’s health that all seeds must be crushed (or chewed) for humans to derive any benefit from them. Our bodies can not break them down, we aren’t birds, etc. They aren’t harmful but will merely come out whole the other end. So if not crushed, chewed, etc, they are fiber which is fine but serve no other nutritive value.
A quick grind up in a mortar and pestle or coffee grinder, etc can fix that issue 🙂
These overnight oats are delicious and so easy to put together in the evening so you don’t have to think about breakfast in the morning. I added a 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and topped with some peanut butter as well!
Love these! Thank you so much for sharing.
This is my new favorite way to eat overnight oats!
