Description

Delicious and nutritious Banana Overnight Oats made with ripe bananas, creamy nut butter, and a hint of cinnamon. This easy no-cook breakfast is prepared by soaking oats overnight in milk and maple syrup, then topped with fresh banana slices, crunchy almonds, and optional natural yogurt for a wholesome start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 bananas, peeled
  • 100g porridge oats
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon, plus a pinch to serve
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 300ml milk of your choice, plus a splash
  • 2 tbsp peanut or almond butter, plus extra to serve

Toppings

  • 2 tbsp flaked or chopped almonds
  • 2–4 tbsp natural yogurt, to serve (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mash the Banana: In a bowl, mash 1 peeled banana thoroughly with a fork until smooth to create a creamy base for the oats.
  2. Mix Ingredients: Stir in the porridge oats, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, maple syrup, milk, and 2 tablespoons of your chosen peanut or almond butter into the mashed banana. Mix well to combine all flavors evenly.
  3. Chill Overnight: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow the oats to soak and soften, creating a creamy texture.
  4. Prepare to Serve: The next morning, give the porridge a good stir. If the mixture is too thick or stiff, add a splash more milk to loosen it to your desired consistency.
  5. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the soaked overnight oats evenly between two bowls. Slice the remaining banana and scatter the slices over the oats.
  6. Add Toppings: Drizzle with extra nut butter and sprinkle the chopped or flaked almonds over the top for added crunch.
  7. Optional Yogurt and Final Touch: Spoon 2-4 tablespoons of natural yogurt on top if desired, then finish off with a pinch of ground cinnamon before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave syrup as preferred.
  • Use any milk you like, including dairy, almond, oat, or soy milk, to make this recipe vegan or suit your dietary needs.
  • Adjust the amount of cinnamon to taste for a stronger or milder spice flavor.
  • The natural yogurt topping is optional but adds creaminess and a slight tang.
  • Overnight soaking softens the oats, so no cooking is required, making this a convenient grab-and-go breakfast.
  • Store any leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 2 days.
