Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup milk any kind
1 ripe banana mashed
1½ teaspoon honey or pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dash of salt

Instructions

In a medium airtight container, add oats, milk, mashed banana, honey/maple syrup, vanilla and almond extracts, cinnamon, and salt. Stir or seal lid and shake well to make sure everything is combined.
Pour into two mason jars (if desired) or keep in container. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, so that the oats will soften and absorb the liquid.
When ready to eat, remove from refrigerator and stir.

Notes

The oats are not overly sweet. I find the honey and ripe banana adds the perfect amount of sweetness, but if you would like more, add additional honey/maple syrup before serving.
Oats will last in the refrigerator for up to four days.
