Chocolate Chip Banana Overnight Oats
Description
This recipe is prepared by mixing rolled oats with chia seeds, diced or mashed banana, cinnamon, vanilla extract, honey or agave, milk, and chocolate chips. The mixture is refrigerated for at least four hours or overnight to hydrate the oats, resulting in a creamy, porridge-like texture without cooking.
The banana provides a mild fruity sweetness and creaminess, while cinnamon and vanilla add warm, sweet aromatic notes. Chocolate chips folded in give a pleasant contrast when eaten. The oats absorb liquid and thicken during refrigeration, making it a convenient grab-and-go meal.
Serve chilled, optionally topping with additional banana slices or nuts for texture. The recipe adapts for various milk types and can incorporate yogurt for added creaminess.
Store leftover overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days, but consume within three days if fresh fruit or toppings are included due to spoilage risk.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats old fashioned
- 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 banana medium, diced or mashed
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon honey or agave, adjust to taste
- 2/3 cup milk unsweetened, regular dairy or almond milk
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients into a sealable jar or bowl and give it a stir until it's all combined.
- Close jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. It is best to soak overnight for 8 hours for a creamier consistency.
- Remove from the refrigerator in the morning and stir. If the oats look dry, you can add a splash of milk before serving.
- Top oats with banana slices, nuts and/or chocolate chips, or any other toppings you like. Enjoy!
Notes
- Overnight oats can be stored refrigerated for up to 4 days, but limit to 3 days if using fresh fruit to avoid spoilage.
- You may substitute any cow's milk or plant-based milk; yogurt can be partially used for creaminess.
- Nutrition facts exclude toppings; adjust sweeteners to taste.
