Banana Bread Overnight Oats
These Banana Bread Overnight Oats are a healthy make-ahead breakfast with the flavor of banana bread, packed with protein, fiber, and natural sweetness from ripe bananas.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 bananas
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoon maple syrup
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1+⅓ cup oats (quick, minute or rolled all work great)
- 4 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder (unflavored will also work great)

- 2 tablespoon chocolate chips, finely chopped
For topping:
- banana chips, walnuts, chocolate chips, unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas using a potato masher or fork until smooth (some chunks are ok).
- To the bowl, whisk in milk, greek yogurt, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
- Once the liquid ingredients are mixed in. Add the dry ingredients including- oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, salt, protein powder, walnuts and chocolate chips. (I like to finely chop the walnuts and chocolate chips together before adding)!
- Cover the bowl and place in the fridge to thicken overnight.
- In the morning, divide amongst 4x 10oz glass jars, top with additional walnuts, chocolate chips, banana chips and coconut if desired and enjoy!
Notes
If you prefer to mix the overnight oats directly in the jars, feel free to divide everything by 4 and add the ingredients in each jar.
Protein powder can be omitted if you prefer.
