Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp peanut butter (or almond butter)
1 ripe banana, sliced
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

- Gently fold in the banana slices, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Seal the jar with a lid or cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge.
- Let the mixture sit overnight (or for at least 4-6 hours) so the oats can soak up the liquid and flavors.
