Description
Delicious and nutritious Banana Bread Overnight Oats that are perfect for a quick breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Rolled Oats
- 1 cup Milk (Dairy or Non-Dairy)
- 1 medium Ripe Mashed Banana
- 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
- 1 tablespoon Sweetener (Brown Sugar or Maple Syrup)
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Optional Mix-ins/Toppings: Chopped walnuts or pecans, Mini chocolate chips, Extra fresh banana slices, Granola, Extra maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare Your Banana: First things first, grab that perfectly ripe banana and mash it thoroughly in a small bowl with a fork. You want it relatively smooth, but a few small lumps are absolutely fine and can even add a nice texture.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a jar with a lid (a 16-ounce mason jar is my favorite, but any airtight container will do), add your rolled oats, chia seeds, brown sugar (or maple syrup), cinnamon, and nutmeg. Give these a quick stir with a spoon to ensure they’re well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Now, add your mashed banana, milk, and vanilla extract to the jar.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir everything together really well. Scrape down the sides of the jar to make sure all the oats and chia seeds are fully submerged in the liquid and banana mixture.
- Chill Overnight: Place the lid securely on your jar or container. Pop it into the refrigerator and let it chill overnight, or for a minimum of 4-6 hours.
- Serve and Enjoy: The next morning, pull your Banana Bread Overnight Oats from the fridge. Give them a good stir. If they’re a little too thick for your liking, just add a splash more milk and stir again until you reach your desired consistency. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
