A deliberately simple overnight oats recipe designed for long run morning. Unlike everyday oats loaded with chia, flax, and nuts, this version strips back the fiber and fat intentionally — giving you a high-carb, easy-to-digest fuel source that won't sit heavy or cause GI distress mid-run. The banana and maple syrup provide fast-acting carbs on top of the slow-release oats for sustained energy across your long effort.

Ingredients

Oats

1 cup (80 g) rolled oats (not steel-cut)

1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk

1 ripe banana, mashed

2 tbsp (30 ml) maple syrup

1 tsp honey

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1 small pinch of fine sea salt

Notes

Prep the night before so it is ready to grab straight from the fridge. Eat 2-3 hours before heading out — this gives your body enough time to digest without feeling full on the run. Do not add chia seeds, flax, or nuts to this recipe — the low fiber content is intentional and performance-critical.

Instructions

Mash the ripe banana thoroughly in the bottom of a jar or container until smooth with minimal lumps.

1 ripe banana, mashed

Add the rolled oats, almond milk, maple syrup, honey, cinnamon, and salt. Stir everything together until well combined and the banana is evenly mixed throughout.

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

2 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp honey

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1 small pinch of fine sea salt

Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours. The oats will absorb the liquid and soften completely.

In the morning, give it a stir. Eat cold straight from the jar — no reheating needed. Do not add toppings that are high in fiber or fat before your run.
