The beauty of this recipe?
Its a banana bread, chia pudding and overnight oats all pulled into one! So if you’re like me and can’t pick between one of these breakfast foods, just go for them all
No better way to start the day than having everything you like.
What you need:
- Old fashioned rolled oats – Use gluten-free to make this a bit more diet friendly
- Chia seeds – All that fiber!
- Banana – Can’t have that banana overnight oats without this key ingredient
- Almond Milk – Need to get this good stuff to hold together
- Maple Syrup – For a rich and flavorful banana bread
- Vanilla and Cinnamon – The classic nana bread ingredients
What makes it the best overnight oats chia pudding?
Mash the banana, mix together everything the previous night and stash it away in the fridge.
But the key here, don’t add all of the milk in. Save ¼ cup and stir it in when you’re ready to have it the next morning.
This would be like a thick overnight chia banana pudding, but when you add that splash of almond milk at breakfast time, it gets a nice creamy oats texture.
Top it with some pecans and you’re all set for perfection!
Diet friendly!
This banana bread overnight oats uses almond milk and no yogurt, so is dairy free and vegan too.
Use gluten-free oats and you have another requirement satisfied since the chia seed pudding part of this overnight oatmeal is already GF!
A stevia sweetened maple syrup to make this sugar free and only naturally sweetened.
One warning about this recipe: Its extremely filling!
I have quite a big appetite and am usually quite “hungry” even after a 600 calorie meal, but this thing filled me up for a good 6 hours. Yes, it was something!
