Tahini Banana Overnight Oatmeal

Isn’t this the best mess you’ve ever seen? Don’t you want to just lick it all up?? When I dumped this recipe into this bowl and saw it was going to overflow, I just kind of shrugged and let it happen. Then I dumped tahini all over it and let that overflow, too. It’s a cascade of tahini delight.

What you’ll need:

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 2/3 cup milk of choice, or water
• 2-3 tsp chia seeds
• 1 ripe banana
• 1-2 tbsp tahini
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp allspice
• 1/4 tsp cardamom
• pinch of cloves (just a pinch! cloves are potent)
• pinch of salt

How to make it:

1. Mix all ingredients (in any container with a lid, such as a mason jar) until combined.
2. Store in the refrigerator overnight (or for several hours). Eat cold or warm up!

Just an FYI:

I wanted this recipe to be distinctly different from my other spiced banana recipes, so I tried to avoid cinnamon. Instead, I used a blend of allspice, cardamom, and cloves, which goes beautifully with the tahini.
