Ingredients
  

For the Oats Base
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats May substitute with gluten-free oats for dietary restrictions.
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk Can swap with almond or oat milk for different tastes.
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup Ideal vegan sweetener; may also use honey for a non-vegan option.
  • 1 pinch Salt A small pinch recommended for best taste.
For the Creamy Addition
  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt Use plant-based yogurt to keep it vegan-friendly.
  • 1/4 cup Shredded Coconut Unsweetened options help control the levels of sweetness.
For Flavor Enhancement
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Pure vanilla yields better flavor than imitation.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Optional but highly recommended to enrich the flavor profile.
For the Topping
  • 1 medium Sliced Bananas Can be omitted if not preferred.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Whipped Cream Use coconut whipped cream for a vegan alternative; entirely optional.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, add rolled oats, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, shredded coconut, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture thoroughly for about 5 minutes until everything is well incorporated and creamy.
  2. Gently fold in the sliced bananas using a spatula to avoid mashing them. Softly combine them into the mix to enhance the natural sweetness and creaminess.
  3. Divide the creamy oat mixture evenly into two jars or airtight containers, leaving about half an inch of space at the top.
  4. Securely seal the jars or containers with lids and refrigerate them for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  5. Before serving, stir each jar well to blend the ingredients. Optionally, add a splash of coconut or almond milk for creaminess. Top with fresh whipped cream and extra shredded coconut.
