A quick and easy overnight oats recipe combining ripe banana and creamy almond butter for a healthy, nourishing breakfast that is ready to grab and go.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana in a small bowl with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky (about 2 minutes).
  2. In a mason jar or mixing bowl, combine rolled oats and chia seeds if using. Stir to mix evenly (30 seconds).
  3. Add almond milk, almond butter, vanilla extract, pinch of salt, and maple syrup or honey if desired (1-2 minutes).
  4. Stir thoroughly until almond butter is fully incorporated and no dry oats remain (1-2 minutes).
  5. Fold in the mashed banana gently until evenly distributed (1 minute).
  6. Seal the jar or container and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours to allow oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
  7. In the morning, stir the oats well. If too thick, add a splash of almond milk to loosen. Top with banana slices, almond butter drizzle, or nuts if desired (1 minute).

Notes

Warm almond butter slightly in the microwave for 10 seconds if it clumps or is hard to stir. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. For thicker oats, add chia seeds or reduce almond milk. Can be stored up to 3 days in the fridge. Add protein powder or spices like cinnamon for variations.
