Description
Banana Berry Overnight Oats are a creamy, nutritious, and make-ahead breakfast packed with fiber, protein, and natural sweetness from ripe bananas and berries. A perfect grab-and-go option for busy mornings or a post-workout meal.
Ingredients
1 ripe banana, mashed
½ cup rolled oats
1 tbsp chia seeds
½ cup Greek yogurt
½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
½ cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Mash the banana in a mason jar or bowl until smooth.
2. Add oats, chia seeds, yogurt, milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly.
3. Fold in half of the mixed berries, reserving the rest for topping later.
4. Cover the jar or container with a lid and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
5. In the morning, stir well. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk.
6. Top with the remaining berries and enjoy.
Notes
• Use very ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness.
• Substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt for a vegan version.
• Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
• You can use frozen berries; they’ll thaw overnight and add extra juiciness.
• For more protein, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder or a spoonful of almond butter.
