Banana Bread Overnight Oats

It’s the new year and one thing is for sure – you’re BUSY!

This week marked my first day back working in nearly 2 full weeks and I was SO excited to get back to it, but I nearly burned myself out I was moving so quickly!

Since life has no signs of slowing down, I know you need easy, quick, nourishing, delicious, and balanced meals to fuel your day.

As much as I would LOVE to craft a delicious omelette every morning, or a stack of my favorite protein pancakes, it just doesn’t happen most days.

That’s where these Banana Bread Overnight Oats come in!

Healthy Banana Oats

This throw-together-in-5-minutes breakfast is sure to take a load off your busy schedule AND keep you full all morning long. 

There’s something about stick-to-your-ribs oats that is SO satisfying!

Even if you’re not typically one for food prep or make-ahead meals, you can add all 5 ingredients to a mason jar, shake, shake, shake, and BOOM – breakfast is ready to go in the morning.

As I’ve mentioned, I’m not a fan of oats on their own, so I obviously doctored these up a little bit.

I added chia seeds for a dash of fiber and healthy fats, which help provide staying power. I also like to add some collagen protein powder (it’s 100% tasteless), but that’s completely optional.

Nutrition aside, nothing is worth making if it doesn’t taste DELICIOUS. I kid you not…this tastes JUST like banana bread. But it’s HEALTHY and for BREAKFAST…or snack…or just because.

  1. I’ve been making this for breakfast for the past few months! Except I just call it “no-cook overnight oatmeal.” It tastes delicious and I like to swap out some of the ingredients with coconut milk, honey, and other fruits. 🙂
