Doin' Some Cookin'... Banana Bread Overnight Oats

When you don't have time to make breakfast in the morning a grab and go breakfast you put together the night before is what you need. Oats are healthy, filling, and this takes less than 5 minutes to prepare when done in this method. You can even make enough servings to last the whole work week.

Let me tell you, this is hands down the best overnight oats recipe I have tried to date. Tastes just like banana bread and would be delicious heated up.
