Ingredients:

• 1 small banana (overripe is recommended)
• ½ cup rolled oats 
• 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
• ½ – 1 tsp ground turmeric – adjust depending on taste preference
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ¾ cup milk of choice
• 2 tbsp yoghurt of choice (Greek yoghurt is a great low sugar option with healthy fats and protein)

Directions:

1. Place oats, flaxseed, turmeric and cinnamon in a bowl, container or jar.
2. Mash the banana thoroughly and add to the oat mixture.
3. Pour in the milk and yoghurt. Stir everything until it's all evenly combined.
4. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours at least, or preferably overnight. The flaxseed will soak up lots of the liquid.
5. Serve the overnight oats as is, or finish these overnight oats off with your favourite toppings. You can add the toppings prior to putting the oats in the fridge, so you can just grab and go the next day.
   

Notes:

• You can make these overnight oats with your preferred choice of milk.
• Yoghurt is an optional ingredient that adds thickness and gives a probiotic boost to the recipe. Our favourite is unsweetened thick Greek yoghurt.
