Banana Nut Overnight Oats

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

These Banana Nut Overnight Oats are my go-to overnight oats recipe. Packed full of cinnamon, toasted pecans and bananas, what's not to love about that combination? I love making overnight oats for a quick and delicious breakfast or snack.

Overnight oats are easily customizable and extremely easy to make. My oldest son loves helping me come up with flavors options. He tends to try to add chocolate to all of them. I use a basic overnight oats recipe and add in different fruits, nuts or nut butters.

Top in the morning – For the best texture, add crunchy toppings like nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit just before serving so they stay crisp and fresh.

Ingredients

½ cup rolled oats
½ cup greek yogurt plain or vanilla are great for this recipe
½ cup almond milk or any milk
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons toasted pecans chopped
½ large banana sliced
1-2 tablespoons honey depending on how sweet your yogurt is, you may just need 1 tablespoon

Cover with a lid and refrigerate overnight.
When you are ready to eat the overnight oats, mix in the pecans and banana slices. Enjoy!

Notes

Tips: Because of oxidation, wait to add the banana until you are ready to eat the overnight oats. Brown bananas are just not appealing.

I also don't add the pecans until I am ready to eat the overnight oats to keep the nuts texture.

How long are overnight oats good for in the refrigerator?

I find that they are good for about 3 days in the refrigerator.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to eat overnight oats?

Overnight Oats are great eaten cold or warmed up.

Do overnight oats have to be made the night before?

Yes, and no. You have to give the oats time to soak up the moisture from the milk and yogurt to soften them. That is why they are typically made the night before so that they are ready for breakfast in the morning. You can make them in the morning and check on the texture of the oats after about 6 hours.
