→ Fruit

03 - 1 ripe banana, mashed (approximately 80-115 grams)

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Mash the ripe banana in a medium bowl until smooth.
02 - Add rolled oats, milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, flaxseed meal or chia seeds, vanilla extract, and salt to the mashed banana. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and evenly combined.
03 - Divide the mixture evenly among three jars or containers, seal tightly, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and oats to soften.
04 - Stir the overnight oats before serving. Add a splash of milk to adjust consistency if desired. Finish with optional toppings such as sliced bananas, additional peanut butter, nuts, cacao nibs, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

# Handy Tips:

01 - Store refrigerated in sealed containers for 4 to 5 days. For best texture, add fresh fruit at serving time. Can be frozen up to 1 month in freezer-safe containers; thaw overnight in the refrigerator and stir before eating.
