Chocolate Banana Overnight Oats
A no-cook, 5-minute breakfast that tastes like chocolate banana pudding. Rolled oats soaked overnight in almond milk with cocoa, mashed banana, chia seeds, and almond butter. Thick, creamy, and genuinely good for you. Perfect for meal prep.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 banana mashed
- 1 ¼ cup almond milk based on your preference
- 2 tsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- pinch of salt
Garnishes
- almond butter, sliced banana, chocolate shavings
Instructions
The night before
- Mix rolled oats, chia seeds, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, maple syrup and milk until well combined. Add the almond butter in and mix until no lumps.
If you're eating the next day
- If you're consuming it the next day, mix in the mashed banana and spoon into a jar and refrigerate.
If you plan to keep it for a couple of days
- If you plan to keep the overnight oats for few days refrigerated, add the mashed banana before consuming or the night before.
- Garnish with more almond butter, sliced banana and chocolate shavings just before eating.
Notes
- Use old fashioned oats for a chewier texture; quick cooking oats for soft and creamy.
- Add a splash of milk in the morning if the oats are too thick.
- Protein boost: stir in a scoop of chocolate protein powder and add extra milk.
- For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter and oat milk.
- Storage: Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 4 days.
