The next day, serve with banana slices and chocolate chips or chopped nuts.

Notes

Note 1: You can use any milk you love for this recipe. Soy milk increases the protein content of the recipe.

Note 2: A small banana is equivalent to 1/3 cup of mashed banana. If your banana is larger, the overnight oats will be runnier, and less firm.

Note 3: Quick oats work as well. I didn't try steel-cut oats for this recipe. Make sure you use gluten-free certified oats if needed.

Note 4: Optional. You can swap for flaxseed meal or skip the chia seeds. The texture is less firm without chia seeds.

Note 5: If using ripe bananas, you won't need a sweetener.

Note 6: Salt enhances the chocolate flavor but it's optional if you watch your sodium intake.

No blender? If you don't have a blender, mash the banana with a fork until smooth. Add to a mixing bowl, and whisk with cocoa powder and almond milk until the cocoa is completely combined. This method won't makes the overnight oats as firm and creamy and you will have to whisk for a while to blend in cocoa powder to the milk.

Storage: Store in the fridge in a sealed airtight container up to 4 days.
