How to Store the Recipe
To meal prep
You can make up to 5 jars of this banana chocolate overnight oats recipes on Sunday to enjoy for a healthy breakfast during the week. Please note that the longer the oats sit in the liquid, the thicker the consistency will be when you go to eat them. As I said, stir in a couple of splashes of milk, and that will get it back to a creamy consistency.
To freeze
You can freeze together in a quart-size freezer bag or mason jar the dry ingredients and banana. When you plan to make the recipe, add the ingredients to a jar (if not already) and add the liquid. Continue with the recipe.
