Banana Overnight Oats
Description
Banana Overnight Oats mix mashed ripe bananas with rolled oats, almond milk, and flavorings such as cinnamon and vanilla. Optional peanut butter or walnuts add richness and texture. The mixture soaks overnight in the refrigerator, allowing the oats to absorb liquid and soften without cooking. This results in a creamy oat dish with banana’s natural sweetness and subtle spice notes. It can be eaten directly from the jar cold or warmed on the stove for a hot breakfast. Maple syrup can be added before serving to adjust sweetness. The jars store well for up to four days in the refrigerator, making them suitable for quick meals or snacks. Additional toppings like fresh banana slices or nuts can increase filling power and add texture variety.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe banana
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (optional; or handful of walnuts)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 cup rolled oats old-fashioned
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup , or to taste
Instructions
- Peel and mash the bananas. I like to do this on a plate, so they will mash evenly. Transfer them evenly between the two glass jars.
- To each jar, add in 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, and a 1/2 cup of milk. Stir well. (It doesn't have to be perfectly smooth!)
- Add a 1/2 cup of rolled oats to each, and stir well. Place the lids on the jars and set them in the fridge to chill overnight, or for at least 6 hours.
- When you are ready to eat, grab a jar from the fridge, remove the lid and stir well. You can add an extra splash of milk to loosen the texture, and then add a splash of maple syrup, to taste. You can eat these cold right away, or transfer to a saucepan over medium-high heat and stir for 2 to 3 minutes, until the oats are warm. (In that case, add an extra splash of water, as the oats will thicken even more.) Oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Notes
- Nutrition information provided is an estimate for one jar serving and may vary.
- Top the oats with extra sliced bananas, walnuts, or hemp seeds for added texture and nutrition.
- Oats can be eaten cold or gently warmed with a splash of water to loosen the texture.
- Store prepared oats in the fridge for up to 4 days for convenient meal prep.
