- In a jar, container, or bowl with a lid, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Give them a quick stir to distribute them evenly.1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, Pinch nutmeg
- Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and add the mashed half of the ripe banana. Stir everything together thoroughly, ensuring there are no clumps of oats or chia seeds.1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 ripe banana
- Add the 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. If you prefer a sweeter breakfast or dessert, stir in your chosen sweetener, such as maple syrup or honey, at this stage. Mix well.1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
- In a separate small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with the 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy. This will become your wonderfully rich "cream" layer.1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pour the yogurt mixture over the oat mixture in your jar or container. You can gently swirl it in or leave it as a distinct layer.
- Secure the lid on your jar or container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
- In the morning, or when you're ready to serve, remove the overnight oats from the refrigerator. Top with the sliced half of the ripe banana.1/2 ripe banana
- Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the banana slices. For an extra touch of decadence, add a light drizzle of sugar-free caramel sauce or a final dusting of cinnamon.
