One of my favorite deserts is Bananas foster, I love the idea of turning that into a FAST and healthy breakfast! These take only 5 minutes to assemble and stay good in the fridge for up to 4-5 days! You can prep these on Sunday and have them for noshing on all week!
It is best to use a steel cut oats or old fashioned oats as using the quick cooking version just makes mush! You can get so creative with flavors in these cute little jars but this is one of my favorites. I made this recipe for 1 jar so you can scale it up to how many you need. We did 6 for the week for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. NOTE: you can also add 1 tablespoon of chopped walnuts or pecans if desired.

You can eat these cold or I like to microwave them just to take the chill off a little. If you need any additional maple syrup for sweetness, you can add it now. Each person like a different level of sweetness.
