Chef's Note
For the creamiest texture, use very ripe bananas with brown spots. You can prepare these oats up to 3 days in advance for quick grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week. For extra flavor layering, try toasting the oats in a dry skillet for 5 minutes before mixing with the other ingredients.
