For 1 serving
Combine the base ingredients.
In a glass jar or a bowl, add the rolled oats, ground flax seeds, and cinnamon powder. Pour in the low-fat milk and honey. Stir everything together until well combined.
TIPMake sure all the oats are submerged in the milk to ensure they soften properly.Soak the oats overnight.
Cover the jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to soak for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight (8 hours). This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
TIPThe longer the oats soak, the creamier the texture will be.Add toppings and serve.
In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If it's too thick for your liking, add another splash of milk. Top with fresh banana slices, chopped walnuts, and blueberries before serving.
TIPFor best results, add the banana and walnuts just before eating to keep them from getting soft or soggy.
