Banana Overnight Oats

Banana overnight oats are a simple no-cook breakfast made by soaking rolled oats with mashed banana and milk overnight. As the oats rest in the refrigerator, they absorb the liquid and soften into a creamy, pudding-like texture. This easy meal-prep breakfast provides fiber, potassium, and steady energy for busy mornings.

Equipment

mason jar or container with lid
– Spoon

Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup milk (any type)
1/2 ripe banana, mashed
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp honey (optional)
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

Mash the ripe banana in a jar or container until smooth.
Add rolled oats to the mashed banana.
Pour in the milk and add chia seeds, honey, and cinnamon.
Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Stir the oats in the morning and add toppings like sliced banana, nuts, or seeds before serving.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor. Rolled oats work best because they soften overnight while keeping a pleasant texture. If the oats become too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk. Banana overnight oats can be eaten cold straight from the fridge or warmed briefly in the microwave if preferred.
