Description
These chocolate banana overnight oats are a delicious and healthy breakfast option that is easy to prepare, customizable, and perfect for busy mornings or as a healthy snack.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 2 tablespoons cacao or cocoa powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Start by peeling a ripe banana and placing it in a bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the banana until it is smooth and pureed thoroughly.
- Next, add cacao powder and a pinch of salt to the mashed banana and mix until well combined.
- Finally, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and almond milk to the mixture. Stir everything well until all ingredients are combined.
- Cover and refrigerate oats overnight (or at least 4 hours). The oatmeal softens and thickens into a pudding-like consistency.
- When ready to consume, uncover the container, stir the mixture again before serving, add toppings if you like, and enjoy!
Notes
The chocolate banana overnight oats can be refrigerated for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
I find it easier to mix the ingredients in a big container or bowl. However, you can also make this recipe directly in an individual jar, such as mason jars or weck jars. For the amount of ingredients listed for this recipe, you might need 3 to 4 jars.
