Description
You’re going to love these delicious and creamy chunky monkey overnight oats. Sweetened with mashed banana and studded with walnuts and chocolate chips, they’re easy to prep and are a healthy, wholesome, make-ahead breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
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.
- Add almond milk and a pinch of salt to the mashed banana. Stir everything together to combine.
- Next, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, chopped walnuts, and mini chocolate chips 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 chunky monkey 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.
