Ingredients

Banana Overnight Oats

  • 1/2 cup mashed banana, about 1 small banana 125g
  • 1/2 cup old fashioned or rolled oats 50g
  • 1 Tbsp chia seeds 10g
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 2g
  • 2/3 cup water or milk of your choice 160g
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt 55g
  • 1/8 tsp fine salt >1g

Optional Topping:

  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar or honey 10g
  • 1 Tbsp chopped nuts 4g
  • 1 Tbsp peanut butter or nut butter 16g

Instructions

  • Mash 1 small banana in a bowl with the back of a fork.
  • Add 1/2 cup of mashed banana into the bottom of a mason jar or bowl.
  • Top with 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 Tbsp chia seeds, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 2/3 cup water, 1/4 cup greek yogurt, and a pinch of salt.
  • Give the oats a good stir to mix the ingredients together, then cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • When you're ready to eat the oats, remove from the fridge. You’ll see that the oats absorbed a lot of the liquid, so you might want to add a little more water or milk of your choice before eating.
  • If desired, top with 1 Tbsp chopped nuts, 1 Tbsp brown sugar or honey, and a spoonful of peanut butter and enjoy cold!
  • These banana overnight oats keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Notes

How To Make the Best Overnight Oats:

  • Make your oats in a sealable container like a mason jar!
  • Feel free to double this recipe or make multiple jars to last the entire week.
  • These banana overnight oats stay good in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • If you like your oatmeal a bit thinner, I suggest adding a splash of water or your favorite milk before eating.
  • Top your overnight oats with peanut butter, sliced bananas, and a sprinkle of chopped nuts to take them to the next level.
