*Updated*
This post was originally published in February 2016. I’ve updated the post below to include more information about overnight oats. Plus, I took new photos and added a recipe video to show you how easy Banana Overnight Oats with Chia Seeds are to make!
Hello, friends! How was your weekend? As always mine was pretty good, but not long enough. But really, are they ever?
OUR LATEST VIDEOSExhaustion and not enough R&R are just a few of the reasons it is so important to eat a hearty breakfast. Especially on a Monday, right?!
And, since breakfast happens to be my favorite meal, it’s only appropriate I share one of my favorite ways to start the day – with creamy, dreamy overnight oats!
Banana Overnight Oats Recipe with Chia Seeds
This isn’t just any ‘ole breakfast though, this is healthy meets indulgent serious breakfast business, people.
Have you hopped aboard the overnight oats bandwagon yet? If you have, awesome!! Then you already know how delicious they are. If you haven’t, trust and believe, this creamy banana topped treat is a fantastic place to start!
Rolled oats are incredibly nutritious! They are a great source of fiber, loaded with important vitamins and contain more protein than most grains. Plus these banana overnight oats have the added health benefit of chia seeds, which are loaded with nutrients, antioxidants, protein and omega-3 fatty acids! Basically, these oats are winning in the health benefits department!
This no-cook oatmeal is sweet and savory with notes of warm cinnamon, cozy maple and delicious pops of jelly-like chia seeds.
But, that creamy dreamy bowl of oatmeal heaven becomes epic with the addition of bananas foster on top. The banana topping is sticky, crunchy, nutty and takes these overnight oats from delicious to EPIC!
What are overnight oats?
Overnight oats are a healthy and delicious no-cook oatmeal made of rolled oats soaked in a liquid, most commonly milk or a dairy-free alternative such as almond milk. Sweetened and then mixed or shaken well, overnight oats should be allowed to soften in the refrigerator overnight until creamy and thick.
With less than 10 minutes of hands on prep time and minimum ingredients, overnight oats are perfect for breakfast on busy mornings and they make a wonderful, easy snack on the go!
Rich in fiber and highly customizable with various add-ins or toppings, these oats are a healthy and tasty meal option.
Are overnight oats considered raw? Are overnight oats cooked?
Unlike oatmeal, which is cooked, overnight oats contain uncooked, but softened, raw oats. The milk soaked oats are incredibly tender and creamy in texture and retain their fresh flavor since they are uncooked.
What milk for overnight oats?
You can use any type of milk or alternative milks, such as almond or coconut milk, to make this banana overnight oats recipe. If you are looking for a milk substitute, you can also use thinned out yogurt or keifer to make overnight oats!
Are overnight oats eaten cold?
Since overnight oats are made from rolled oats soaked in milk in the refrigerator overnight, they are typically eaten cold.
Can overnight oats be heated up or warmed up?
If cold overnight oats aren’t for you, they can be warmed up, or heated in the microwave.
Quickly heating the oats in the microwave will yield softer textured overnight oats.
How to store overnight oats?
Overnight oats should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
How long do overnight oats last?
Overnight oats properly stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator will last for up to 5 days. It is important to note the oats will continue to soften the longer they sit in the refrigerator. If incredibly tender, creamy banana overnight oats are your jam, simply prepare them a few days in advance! If not, I recommend eating the oats within 2 days.
Can overnight oats be frozen?
Overnight oats can be frozen. Make sure you let the oats sit in the refrigerator to soften and absorb the liquid before freezing.
What is Bananas Foster topping? Why is it called Bananas Foster?
Bananas Foster is a delicious dessert consisting of bananas, vanilla ice cream and a sauce made up of brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, banana liqueur and dark rum. Typically the alcohol in the sauce is added last and ignited.
Bananas Foster was created in the New Orleans’ restaurant, Brennan’s, by Paul Blange and Ella Brennan in 1951.
In the early 50’s, New Orleans was a major port of entry for bananas being shipped from Central and South America. In order to promote bananas, the owner of Brennan’s challenged his chef, Blange, to include bananas in a dessert. Meanwhile, Holiday Magazine had asked Owen to provide a new recipe to include in an article spotlighting the restaurant. Thus, Bananas Foster was born, which is named after Owen’s friend, Richard Foster, who was a local business leader.
How to make banana overnight oats? (Tips & Tricks)
- While I used light brown sugar in the banana overnight oats recipe below, you can use dark brown sugar.
- You can use any type of milk or alternative milks, such as almond or coconut milk, to make these oats. If you are looking for a milk substitute, you can also use thinned out yogurt or keifer!
- Overnight oats will keep, covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 5 days.
- Bananas foster topping will keep, covered in the refrigerator for 2 days. (The banana topping is great on top of pancakes, waffles and ice cream!)
- For smooth, creamy oats add ½ cup frozen sliced banana and place in a blender (after refrigeration). Blend until smooth.
These sweet and savory banana overnight oats will have you getting up on the right side of the bed in the morning! Creamy and packed full of protein, these oats make a delicious breakfast or mid-day snack!
What are you waiting for? Get on these oats and double up on the bananas foster topping! Your tummy will thank you!!
Until next time, friends, cheers – to next level oatmeal!

Been looking for a tasty chia seeds dessert and here it is!
Glad I could provide a tasty chia seed dessert for you, Christie! Cheers!
It looks so delicious, I have to make a chia pudding soon, I’ve been meaning to for ages but never got to it. And the topping sounds so great!
You absolutely must try chia seed pudding soon, Adina! You will love it! Cheers, girl!
I’ve never made chia pudding, even though it’s the thing that all kids are doing nowadays. I gotta get on that train!
You made a pretty perfect topping, too. You’re such a good chef, Cheyanne! You have the best ideas and creativity ever.
You must hop aboard the chia seed pudding train, Mir! Pretty sure you will love it! Thanks so much for the sweet comment, girlfriend! You rock my world 😉 Cheers!
I started Making a Murderer over the Christmas holidays with my son Casey! He was so into it, so he got me into it! Yes, it is totally disheartening what can go on in the legal system. I’m with you Cheyanne, I won’t be moving there or anywhere near there ever! I have not hopped on the chia seed bandwagon as of yet, but this looks totally delicious! That bananas foster topping has left me drooling! Have a great week!
The legal system is disheartening, Mary Ann, especially in the case of Avery… makes you worried that any one could be framed or wrongfully accused! You need to hop on board the bandwagon, my dear, because I know you will love chia seed pudding! Thanks so much for the kind comment! Cheers!
Did I miss national chia pudding day or something? I am seeing theme everywhere today, not that I am complaining.
I am loving the cinnamon and maple combination and with the bananas on top….wow!
Hahaha! Not that I’m aware of Dannii! Although now I’m wondering if there is a national chia seed pudding day – gonna have to google that! Thanks for the kind comment, dear! Cheers!
I just finished MOM on Friday night and WHOA. I don’t know what it is, but something is very wrong…and I feel like the story isn’t over yet. We also watched Spotlight (right before the Oscars – can you say In The Nick Of Time?) – the world is one crazy place. We clearly need more chia pudding with banana deliciousness on it. Happy Monday, Cheyenne – have a glorious week! xo
What a coincidence! We really are strangely connected, Kate!! I certainly HOPE the story isn’t over yet, because I can’t imagine someone wrongfully being in jail for their lifetime. Makes me very sick. Haven’t seen Spotlight yet, but I will be sure to check it out! Thanks so much for the sweet comment, friend! Cheers to you! xo
Making a Murderer is on my list to watch! My husband and I have been wanting to do that for weeks now, so we have to just do it! This chia seed pudding looks SO good! I’ve only made it one other time, but it failed in comparison to this. I love the bananas foster topping. SO creative, friend! I think I could eat this for every meal and be happy! 🙂 Pinned, of course!
You totally need to watch MAM, Gayle… just prepare yourself to be a little disheartened and scared of our legal system. Thanks so much for the comment love and pin as always, dear! Cheers!! 😉
This is what Mondays are made for! Loving this healthy breakfast made super special with that delicious bananas foster – my kind of way to wake up 🙂
We have started MOM but haven’t made it through. I’m a little hesitant to keep going because I’m already getting a sick feeling in my stomach… then again, it’s hard to look away so I’m sure we’ll power through and finish it soon. Then I’m going to do exactly like you and see the follow up. Nosy indeed 🙂
Hope you have a lovely week my friend!
I totally understand being hesitant to keep watching MAM, Kathryn! I felt the same way, but was weirdly addicted to the high blood pressure! Even though you KNOW the ending, I kept hoping somehow by watching it I could change the outcome. So glad I’m not the only one who is nosy! Ha! Thanks so much for the kind comment, my dear! Cheers to you and a wonderful week! 😉
I ate chia pudding almost every day last week for a snack. I love that you added cinnamon maple flavors with banana foster topping. I could probably eat that topping by the spoonful. So good!
Wow, you were on a chia seed pudding roll, Ashley! Not that I blame you – SO good! Thanks so much for the comment, dear! Cheers!
Guuuuurl, you DID NOT just combine bananas foster and chia seed pudding. Hot damn. What an insanely delicious concept! Cheyanne, have I told you lately that I’m in love with your blog? Sigh… <3 Anyway, I haven't gotten onto the MAM train yet. I like my blood pressure the way it is. LOL. But yeah, people are talking about that doc like crazy. I keep hearing that eventually EVERYONE will give into watching it. Glad to hear it moved you (well, not bc you won't be moving to you know what county. haha). Alright, I have to go make chia seed pudding now. Sending big hugs! xoxo
Haha! I sure as shhhh did, Demeter! 😉 Feeling is totally mutual, because I’m girl crushing on you and your blog, but I think you already know that! <3 I feel you on not wanting to watch MAM... I didn't know it was going to cause extreme anxiety and my blood pressure to go through the roof or I might have thought twice. But it was definitely a strangely fascinating and disturbing doc. Thanks so much for the comment love, chicka! Hugs right back at! XO
Aww… Cheyanne!! I’m so glad we met. Is it time to trade neon green BFF bracelets now? Or is it too soon? 😉 MAM: Yeah, I get a little too into tv and movies. I’m one of those people who’s jumping and yelling at the screen. Haha. (Yes, it’s a real pleasure to watch tv with me). Okay, you’ve convinced me to stay far, far away. Sending big hugs and fistbumps to ya, Cheyanne! xoxoxo
Goodness, that looks goooood! Would it be okay if I use vanilla almond milk – I have that in the fridge right now, along with everything else I need to make and then devour your stunning creation. I love bananas – but fostered up – all the better! Thanks for a delicious and healthy breakfast to add to my repertoire! Just fabulous!! XO
You can totally use Vanilla Almond Milk, Annie! Why the heck not? Probably makes this puddin’ even more delicious! Thanks so much for the sweet comment, doll! Cheers to you and a fabulous day! XO
I can’t imagine a more perfect breakfast. Love everything about this! We binge-watched Making a Murderer too and agree. Not good for the blood pressure 🙂
Thanks so much for the kind comment, Jennifer! And I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who thinks watching MAM is hazardous to one’s health. 😉 Cheers!
Yes please! Totally wicked combo, Cheyanne! I could eat this up for breakfast or as a dessert! That topping sounds insane! Going to have to make extra next time I have pancakes!!
Breakfast and dessert is totally the way to go with this pudding, Dawn! Thanks so much for the comment love! And I highly recommend bananas foster on pancakes or waffles. Totally winning. Cheers, girl!
As a Minnesota resident I find that documentary waaay too close to home. The reasonable doubt is nuts. I mean, there wasn’t any blood in the garage! Yikes.
On a happier note, I think you’re right and this will definitely make me a morning person. Chia pudding is the bomb anyway, but a bananas foster topping? Just let me shovel it into my mouth!
I had no clue you lived in Minnesota, Amanda…. I’m sorry? 😉 I was shouting “where’s the blood” a million times… along with some expletives and such. lol. Thanks so much for the sweet comment, girlfriend! Cheers!
Hey Miss Cheyanne, glad to hear you had a great weekend, though not long enough of course. I have not watched MAM and now of course I must see, based on your recommendation. I really do like documentaries, though I fear I may get angry on this one. So this chia pudding with maple undertones sounds amazing. This New England girl loves anything maple and this sounds fabulous with the bananas foster topping. Wow.You know how to make it happen in a glass, girl. Cheers to your week ahead, I hope it is an excellent one! XOXO
If you like documentaries you will like MAM, Allie. Well, I say “like” very lightly. It’s definitely disturbing, but moving and eye opening. And yes, you will probably get angry. 😉 I know you love maple syrup (hello, great taste buds crave alike!), so I’m glad you approve of this pudding! Thanks so much for the sweet comment, girlie! Cheers to a fabulous week! XO
I haven’t watched MAM, but would like to! Love chia puddings and just had some for breakfast, but this one looks way more delicious and gorgeous! Pinning to try it!
You should watch MAM, just prepare yourself, Mir! Thanks so much for the comment love and pin, girlfriend! Cheers!
Thank you thank you thank you for giving me a healthy way to enjoy banana foster! This looks amazing Cheyanne!
Well your very welcome, Ashlyn! Thank YOU for the sweet comment! 😉 Cheers, girl!
Wow, this chia pudding looks so packed with flavor- those maple-y caramelized bananas look to die for 🙂
Thanks so much, Medha! Bananas foster anything is to die for in my world! Cheers, girl! 😉
This pudding sounds and looks amazingly delicious! I love cinnamon and banana together!
Thanks so much, Marsha! Cinnamon and ‘naners are SO good together! Cheers, girlfriend!
I haven’t watched Making a Murderer yet – but I sure have jumped on the chia seed bandwagon! These little seeds are pretty darn amazing! And what you have done with them is freaking fantastic!
Yay to being on board the chia seed bandwagon! Thanks so much for the comment, Shashi! Cheers to a fabulous day, dear!
Cheyanne! You literally just combined everything on my breakfast-love-list right now to make this cinnamon maple chia pudding. So warming and filling for cold winter/spring months! But so delicious too!
Clearly we have the same breakfast-love-list, Lucie! And great taste, if I do say so myself. 😉 Thanks so much for the comment, girl! Cheers!
Girl, think you know exactly how I feel about MAM! I’m going to leave it at that because I can already feel my blood pressure rising and move on to this delicious breakfast! I make chia pudding for Chris pretty often using coconut milk, but he has never been lucky enough to have bananas foster on top! That’s one brilliant move, my friend! XO
Ha! Yes, I do know how you feel – because umm same same! 😉 I still need to take your recommendation and try coconut milk in my chia seed pudding, so thanks for reminding me! Thanks for the comment love, sweets! Cheers! XO
Yayaya! For Chia Pudding Love!! I’d spring right up outta bed for this one Chey! Overnight, pudding, bananas faster? No question, this is hands down a favorite brekkie! So while you’re watching MAM, I’ll snick into your fridge and devour this! Delicious work my dear! xo
Hahaha! Feel free to come and sneak stuff out of my fridge anytime, Traci! Just know that I’m totally coming to your house and doing the same!! 😉 Thanks so much for the sweet comment, my dear! Cheers! xo
I’ve still never tried chia pudding. Looks amazing! Love the maple and banana twist.
You must try chia seed pudding, Rahul! So good! Thanks so much for the comment! Cheers!
That show was one of the hardest documentaries I’ve ever watched. It’s corruption at its finest! I have not hopped aboard the chia seed bandwagon yet because never found a recipe that really jumped out at me. On the other hand, this recipe is calling my name and telling me I need to make it tonight so I can eat it all day tomorrow! How did you know that bananas foster is a favorite of mine? I think this is another recipe made just for me and I thank you very much bestie 😉 #arubaherewecome
I know how you feel about MAM, Karrie. And you KNOW I agree with you! Hello, besties with great minds! 😉 I’m honored that you want to hop aboard MY chia seed bandwagon! Woot! You should totally make this tonight and eat it on repeat tomorrow. I don’t judge. Thanks so for the comment love, sweets! And yaaahhhss #ArubaHereWeCome! <3
I’ve been on the chia seed bandwagon for a long while now and love them! Chia pudding is one of the most delicious things, and I’m dying over this bananas foster topping you made — amazing! Pinned, and have a wonderful day!
I totally agree that chia seed pudding is one of the most delicious things, Marcie! So glad you approve of mine! Thanks so much for the comment and pin, friend! Cheers! 🙂
haha what a co-incidence! I have something “banana foster” up on the blog tomorrow as well! Great minds think alike 😉 love this dear!
Great minds indeed, Manali! Can’t wait to see what you have in store! Thanks for the comment, dear! Cheers! 🙂
Making a Murderer was great, Cheyanne -wasn’t episode so sad. Have you seen “The Staircase” – that’s another incredible murder mystery, true crime mini-series. Also, the latest Serial pod cast is really good too. As for the chia seed pudding – I have yet to make one – but all the yummy flavors in this are calling my name. It looks sooo good!
I just looked up “Staircase”, Geraldine and it looks great! Thanks so much for recommending that – can’t wait to watch it! And I’m most definitely going to start listening to the Serial pod cast tomorrow! Woot! Thanks for the sweet comment, my dear! Cheers!
I haven’t made chia seed pudding in soooo long! You are motivating me to make it again soon! I haven’t watched Making a Murderer … although I will confess that I started watching Fuller House this weekend. Ahhh memories from being a kid!! haha
Hahaha! Girl, I have Fuller House in my que to watch. No judgement here! 😉 Thanks for the comment, girlfriend and it is totally my pleasure to motivate the chia seed pudding action! Cheers! 🙂
Omg this pudding looks like just what I’ve been craving. That topping….. girl, you’ve sold me!
I love chia seed pudding but this is the prettiest one I’ve seen! Love the bananas foster twist – totally brilliant and so delicious girl! 🙂
i binged on MAM over the holidays.i’m embarrassed to admit it only took a couple days for me to complete. (clearly neglected my family and sleep for this show). it’s a hard show to watch and i’m still obsessed with all the follow-up articles. if only i had some of your delectable bananas foster to lower my blood pressure while i watched! this pudding sounds so creamy and delicious – must try!
What a delicious and nutritious way to start the morning! I should be starting my day off with this instead of a plain old large cup of decaf that offers very little nourishment. Leave it to you to top chia pudding with the most wonderful topping, Chey!! I can eat the banana foster topping by the bowlful! Thanks for the 411 on bananas. I didn’t know they are good for blood pressure and keep you looking young. I knew I liked them for a reason, but I’m thinking maybe I should start eating them by the bunch! 🙂 I haven’t seen Making a Murder but have heard a lot of talk about it. It is making quite an impact on people.
I skipped right over the healthy part and jumped right to the indulgent! Good thing you have my good health in mind! I’ve used chia seeds in a lot of dishes, but have not made it into a pudding yet! This looks so amazing….especially that banana topping! 🙂
I just bought my first bag of chia seeds not that long ago and have yet to try the pudding — LOVE the bananas foster on this one! I am so torn on MAM! It is so frustrating to watch and I almost don’t want to dig deeper and find out that things get even worse… Lol.
I haven’t watched ‘Making a Murderer’ yet, but I may have a look since you’re recommending! I’ve never tried a chia pudding yet either! Indeed, I even got chia seeds last weekend, but I had no idea what kind of pudding to make. Until now. Maple syrup (yes!!!). Bananas (yess yess yess!!!!). Rum???? (Jumping). Chey, you’re genius. I’m making this sooon!
This pudding looks fabulous, Cheyaane! Love chia puddings and this one is just outstanding. Love the combo of banana, cinnamon and maple. So good.
That banana topping makes my heart swoon!
I love a good chia pudding, both for breakfast, snack or dessert. It’s super filling and sweet without being heavy. Will definitely try it with that amazing topping! X
Oh my goodness Cheyanne, this chia pudding looks absolutely amazing!!!! The bananas foster topping looks so beautiful – and sounds so delicious. Such an incredible way to serve chia pudding. I definitely have to try this asap!!!! Pinned <3
ok, dude, I have to admit I am scared to death to watch ‘Making a Murderer’. . because, homeboy is from Wisconsin and it’s a little too close to home if you know what I mean. . anyway, I hear it’s fabulous and riveting . . maybe I will muster up the courage to watch it one day. . in the meantime .. this is freaking brilliant! The bananas foster topping?!!! OH MY GAWD!!!
Oh. my. WORD! That bananas foster topping is to die for! I love that you also used walnuts. Pinned!!! XOXO
I usually stick to my Shonda Rhimes TGIT dramas, but lately I’ve been feeling more comedy and lighthearted shows. I’ve really been enjoying teen shows like Faking It and Master of None (I’m late to the game) is so funny as well. Love this pudding, I’d love this for breakfast and anything with fried up bananas is a winner!
OMG!!! We just started watching ‘Making a Murder’ this weekend too! Clearly we are in the same late boat 😉 We’ve been totally binge watching, even falling asleep on the couch in the wee hours of the morning when we should have been in bed long ago (talk about some CRAZY dreams)! And I couldn’t agree more with your sentiments. Unfortunately this documentary doesn’t restore any confidence in my already lacking faith in the justice system.
So on a lighter note… your recipe – totally amazing! As always, I’m so impressed with your flavor combinations – always stellar and on point! *Drooling!
I’m always looking for something new to watch – I’ll have to check this out! I’m also always on the search for new breakfasts. This looks phenomenal and I can’t wait to try 🙂
I just binge watched Making a Murder a couple weekend ago myself (I’m glad I wasn’t the only one late to the party). And OMG. How terrifying and fascinating all at the same time. Ugh. It stressed me out, yet I couldn’t stop watching it. This pudding is OMG yum and get in my belly. I certainly prefer my breakfast to taste like dessert, so you now I’m down for this! XOXO!!!
YES that banana foster on top!!! Totally genius, so trying it on my next chia pudding. I haven’t made one in a while, but have all the ingredients so really no excuse haha. Normally I stick to passionfruit/mango/whatever other fruit I have, but LOVE caramelised bananas. So perfect for breakfast on the go as well! Thanks for the inspiration Cheyanne!! x
That topping looks positively HEAVENLY. And I keep hearing about this show, I need to binge watch soon.
We watched the first 2 episodes of MAM, but never finished. I’m not really sure why – I think we got caught up in other shows and I’ve read so much about it that I never felt the need to continue watching! I’d still like to see the entire thing, though. This chia seed pudding looks just wonderful! I loooooooove bananas foster, so this is just perfect, Cheyanne!
Making a Murderer totally stressed me out too – SO good though! I also am totally obsessed with Serial and Truth & Justice podcasts – if you haven’t listened to those, you NEED too! And this chia seed pudding?! SWOON! That bananas foster topping is making me drool!
We totally binged on MAM and holy cow! The worst part about it is that you never get a definitive answer. It isn’t like watching a fictional television show where you find out the truth in the end. Gah! The worst! We fluctuated all over the place while watching it. The thing that drives me crazy is how mishandled everything was. Like if the investigators had been more on top of it from the begining they might actually have more answers. ANYWAY. Now I need some of this pudding to lower my blood pressure! I still need to try chia pudding, and these flavors look like the perfect way to start!
Girl this pudding looks so good and especially that banana foster topping on top!! I seriously wish I was eating this right now!!
This pudding looks superb and it must be if it includes a bananas foster topping! I love chia seeds, I put them in cookies, smoothies, you name it but nothing as decadent as this. I have not seen MAM but you’ve peaked my interest. I will be checking it out 🙂 . Take care.
I watched one episode and it just didn’t grab me, maybe I need to re-visit? As for this beauty.. I really enjoy chia seed puddings and that topping is just off the hook. We are currently binge watching Longmire and Broadchurch, two excellent written shows on Netflix. 🙂
OHHHHH MYYYYYY LANTA!!!!!!!!! Those bananas – WHOAAAA BABY!!
I need to still try making chia pudding!
I just loved that banana topping. I will have to try this recipe soon. Thanks for sharing.
This looks amazing lady!! I want to eat spoonfuls of that yummy caramel topping. Spoonfuls!!
Woah, we are always on the same wave length and share so many of the same interests, Cheyanne! Firstly, I was totally crushing on a vegan chocolate chia seed pudding I recently came across at my local health food store, and I was wondering how I would be able to recreate it as I’ve never used chia seeds before. This version with cinnamon and bananas looks AMAZING! I love health food when its done like this! 😉 Secondly, I totally binge watched MAM and was like speechless after all of it. I just can’t believe towns like that exist and that the justice system can be so screwed. Aside from the craziness of Avery’s case…it’s like what about his nephew!!? How can the police get away with questioning him like that, and without a freakin attorney!? I just don’t even understand…
Anyways, another amazing recipe that I’ve saved from you! Thank you my dear <3
What a gorgeous recipe! And it’s healthy!! Absolutely adore chia pudding 😀
I remember these little beauties Chey! That bananas foster topping!! Soooooo good! Such a treat for breakfast or for snacking!
Overnight oats are one of my go-tos when I’m going to have a busy morning. I usually just slice up a banana and throw it in the mix but I like this version a lot better. Any time I can incorporate some rum (even just the flavor) into my breakfast I’m happy :). Have a great week, Chey!
