Oats Mixture
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Toppings
- 1/2 banana, sliced
Instructions
- Combine Oats and Milk: In a bowl, add the rolled oats and almond milk. Stir gently to mix them together evenly.
- Add Flavorings: Incorporate the peanut butter, honey, and cinnamon into the oat mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
- Add Banana Topping: Place the sliced banana on top of the oat mixture without mixing it in to keep the banana fresh and visually appealing.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6-8 hours or overnight to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors fully.

Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice, such as dairy or other plant-based milks.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or substitute it with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- For added texture and nutrition, consider adding nuts or seeds on top before serving.
- If you prefer a smoother consistency, blend the oats with the liquids and peanut butter before refrigerating.
- Store leftover oats in a covered container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
