Banana Bread Overnight Oats
These banana bread oats are like having banana bread for breakfast - without any fuss! They're the perfect blend of healthy and delicious.
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats if needed, certified gluten-free
- ½ cup unsweetened dairy-free milk I use Silk
- ¼ cup dairy-free vanilla yogurt unsweetened
- 1 ripe banana mashed (the riper, the sweeter!)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup optional, or adjust to taste
- ½ tablespoon chia seeds
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch sea salt
Instructions
- In a jar or container, combine the oats, milk, yogurt, mashed banana, maple syrup (if using), chia seeds, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and optional toppings if using.
- Stir everything together until well combined. Make sure the banana is mixed in well.
- If you’re feeling like it, add a layer of peanut butter or almond butter, followed by sliced bananas. Top with a drizzle of nut butter before sealing the jar (walnuts or pecans once it’s finished).
- If using add the optional toppings now and mix again.
- Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally, overnight. The longer the oats soak, the creamier they’ll become.
- You can eat it cold straight from the jar, warm it up in the microwave, or on the stovetop with a splash of milk.
