  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 banana medium; half mashed and half sliced

Equipment

  • 1 16-ounce jar or container

Method
 

  1. Combine the oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, coconut, maple syrup, salt, and half the mashed banana in a 16-ounce jar or container.
  2. Cover the jar or container.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  4. Stir the oats.
