Chocolate Banana Overnight Oats
Description
Chocolate Banana Overnight Oats use rolled oats soaked in unsweetened vanilla almond milk and chocolate protein powder, creating a well-flavored base enhanced by mashed banana and chia seeds. The slow soaking allows the oats and chia to absorb the liquid, resulting in a creamy texture without cooking. When served, the addition of fresh banana slices and cacao nibs adds pleasant texture contrasts with a touch of nuttiness and fruitiness. The optional almond butter topping adds richness and depth of flavor.
This dish is prepared the night before, making it ideal for busy mornings. It keeps well refrigerated for up to five days, allowing easy portioning for multiple days. Stirring before serving may require adding a bit more almond milk to reach desired consistency.
Ingredients
- 1 banana cut in half
- 1 cup rolled oats not instant, old fashioned
- 1½ cups almond milk unsweetened vanilla
- 4 Tablespoons chocolate protein powder
- ½ Tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 teaspoons cacao nibs
- almond butter optional
Instructions
- Cut one half of your banana in slices and mash the other half.
- Add mashed banana, oats, almond milk, protein powder and chia seeds into a bowl. Stir well to combine, until all the protein powder has dissolved. Divide oat mixture into two containers (I like using mason jars), seal with a lid and place in the fridge overnight.
- Take one container out of the fridge the next morning and stir the mixture. You'll notice that the protein powder, oats and chia seeds soak up a lot of the liquid so you may want to add a little more almond milk before serving.
- Top with banana slices, cacao nibs and almond butter (if using) and enjoy!
- Overnight oats will keep for up to 5 days in the fridge in a sealed container.
