Chocolate Banana Overnight Oats
Chocolate Banana Overnight Oats combine rolled oats soaked overnight in almond milk with mashed banana and chocolate protein powder. This mixture thickens as the oats and chia seeds absorb liquid, creating a creamy, ready-to-eat breakfast with a balance of sweetness from the banana and chocolate notes. Topped with banana slices, cacao nibs, and optional almond butter, this recipe provides a convenient and nutritious start to the day.
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.
