Banana Nut Overnight Oats
The best banana Nut Overnight Oats for a quick breakfast win. Featuring toasted pecans, creamy Greek yogurt, and cinnamon for a banana bread flavor.
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
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- In a small container, mix together the oats, almond milk (or your milk of choice) yogurt, chia seeds, honey and cinnamon.
- 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.
If toasting the pecans, place them on a baking sheet in a 350°F for 6-8 minutes. Cool before chopping.
