Yes but that alone will probably not taste too good. A little more effort is worth it. Easy to meal-prep for the whole week too.
I use this guys base recipe and mess around with toppings. The banana bread and pb&j ones are a favorite.
This is a copy paste from his video description:

Thanks, I'll give it a go. How important are the chia seeds to the whole operation?
And one more dumb question: are rolled oats and steel cut oats different?
The chia seeds are fairly important. Both nutritionally and they give it a more pudding like texture.
Yes; cut oats are quicker to cook generally and in this case result in a less firm texture. But nutritionally the same.
Thanks for taking the time. I'm a little excited for this project.
Hell yea. Glad I could inspire giving this a go.
The nice thing is is that you get to control a lot of variables here. So pay attention to the first batch and note what you should tweak.
Need more texture? Walnuts! I'm curious to see how other nuts fair. Wanna try cachews at some point.
Too sweet? Less sweetner! Alternatively, add more for a morning sugar rush (I don't really do coffee so this works).
Something more tart? Dark chocolate & Dutch processed coca!
More frutty? Absolutely! I didn't mention mangos and peaches but I'm partial to them for this.
But as always: don't force yourself to like things some rando on the net is yapping about enthusiastically. Everyone is different so do what works for you.
