2. Portion & chill
Divide the mixture evenly among 4 jars or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours (or up to 3 days) to allow the oats and chia seeds to soften.
3. Top & enjoy
Before serving, slice the remaining banana and top each serving. Add a spoonful of the remaining ¼ cup pecan or almond butter. Garnish with raspberries if desired.
Tip: Prepare the oats up to 3 days in advance. Just add your toppings right before serving for the freshest taste and texture.
