Servings 2
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 can (14 oz/400ml) low-fat coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 small banana
- 1/2 cup cherry jam, or more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Topping
- Nut butter
- Cherries, pitted
- Shredded coconut, unsweetened
Instructions
- In a bowl or glass storage container with lid, mash the banana. Stir in the rolled oats, coconut milk, vanilla and chia seeds until thoroughly combined.
- Cover and let soak in the fridge overnight. The mixture will thicken and soften.
- After soaking, stir the oats and add milk to thin if the oats are too thick to your liking. Use your milk of choice.
- Serve with cherry chia jam (about 1/4 cup per bowl), fresh cherries, shredded coconut and nut butter if desired. Almond butter and sunbutter are my favorites in this recipe.
Notes
I use this recipe for cherry chia jam, but feel free to use the jam of your choice. If using a sweetened jam, you won't need as much.
