Ingredients

  • 2 medium ripe bananas, divided

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 1 3/4 cups whole milk

  • 3/4 cup banana-and-cream strained (Greek-style) yogurt or whole vanilla strained yogurt, divided

  • 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 2 graham cracker sheets, crushed (about 1/3 cup)

Directions

  1. Mash 1 banana in a medium bowl with a fork until no large lumps remain. Add oats, milk, ¼ cup yogurt, vanilla, chia seeds, cinnamon and salt; whisk until thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds.
  2. Cover and refrigerate until the oats have absorbed the liquid and the mixture is thickened, at least 8 hours. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the oat mixture into each of 4 (8-ounce) jars; top each with 2 tablespoons of the remaining yogurt. Cut the remaining banana into ½-inch-thick slices; divide among the jars, arranging in an even layer over the yogurt. Top with the remaining oat mixture. Top with crushed graham crackers before serving.
