Begin by selecting a clean and spacious jar or container with a lid. This will be your vessel for creating the magic of overnight oats.

Take that perfectly ripe banana and give it a good mashing. You want it to be creamy and smooth. Add this banana mash to the bottom of your jar.

Sprinkle the chia seeds over the banana mash. .

Next, add the oats on top of the banana and chia seed layer. This is where the heartiness and comfort of your breakfast come in.

Now, gently pour in the almond milk, ensuring that all the oats are nicely soaked. Almond milk adds a subtle nutty flavor and keeps things dairy-free.

Give everything a gentle stir within the jar, ensuring that the banana, chia seeds, oats, and almond milk are well combined. Seal the jar with its lid.

Place your jar in the refrigerator and let the oats work their magic overnight. The chia seeds will thicken the mixture, and the flavors will meld together beautifully.

In the morning, slice the two ripe bananas into thick pieces and brush them with a touch of maple syrup.

Place them in an air fryer set to 350°F (180°C) for about 5-7 minutes until they become caramelized and slightly crispy.

Remove your jar of oats from the refrigerator and give it a good stir.

Top your creamy oats with the air-fried bananas, and drizzle any remaining maple syrup over the top.
