Banana Overnight Oats is a healthy breakfast that you can make ahead of time for busy mornings. It is a flexible recipe that can easily be customised to suit dietary and flavour preferences. The chia seeds optional but  provide extra nutrition (they are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, rich in antioxidants, and they provide fibre, iron, and calcium), they also make the overnight super creamy and pudding-like.

Ingredients: Serves 1

  • 40g Rolled Oats
  • 1 Tablespoon Chia Seeds
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Banana, mashed
  • 1 TablespoonPeanut Butter
