Method
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until warm, about 2 minutes.
Add the sliced banana, honey, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the warm milk.
Stir gently and let the mixture simmer for 2–3 minutes until the banana softens and the flavors meld.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Banana softens into the milk mixture. Stir gently to keep the mixture from catching on the pan.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly for 1–2 minutes.
In a jar or bowl, combine the rolled oats and chia seeds, mixing them evenly.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Oats and chia seeds are evenly mixed through the jar or bowl. Break up any clumps before adding the liquid.
Pour the warm banana‑milk mixture over the oats and chia seeds, stirring thoroughly to ensure all oats are coated.
Cover the container tightly and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Oats have absorbed the liquid and thickened. Keep the container covered while chilling.
In the morning, give the oats a good stir; if the mixture is too thick, add a splash of extra milk to reach your desired consistency.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The mixture loosens to a spoonable consistency after stirring. Add the extra milk gradually until it suits your preference.
Top with fresh banana slices or an additional drizzle of honey, if desired.
Serve chilled or at room temperature.
