Why it fits: Built on certified gluten-free oats and lactose-free milk and yogurt, sweetened with maple syrup rather than honey, and topped with a firm banana, all core picks for this pattern.

Ingredients

1 cup certified gluten-free rolled oats
1 cup lactose-free milk
1/2 cup lactose-free plain yogurt
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tbsp chia seeds
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
1 firm banana, sliced
2 tbsp chopped walnuts

Method

Stir the oats, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt together in a jar or bowl.
Cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 hours.
Top with the sliced banana and walnuts just before eating.

Swaps and notes: Pick a firm, just-ripe banana rather than a spotty one. Blueberries or strawberries can stand in.
