Swirl in 2 tbsp natural peanut butter for ribbons of flavor, or stir fully to combine.

Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. The oats will absorb the liquid and thicken considerably.

Before serving, stir the oats and add a splash of milk if they are too thick. Top with 1 sliced ripe banana and any extra toppings you like. Serve cold.
