In a jar or bowl, combine the quick oats, milk, chia seeds, and a pinch of cinnamon. Stir well to ensure everything is mixed together.

Add the sliced banana to the oat mixture and gently fold in half of the blueberries. If you like it sweet, sprinkle in some monk fruit sweetener to taste.

Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to let the oats soak up the liquid.

In the morning, give your oats a good stir to combine any settled ingredients. If it seems too thick, you can add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency.

Top your oats with the remaining blueberries, the other half of the banana, and sprinkle the chopped pecans for added crunch.

Enjoy your delicious and nutritious overnight oats straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl if you prefer!
