Bananas Foster Overnight Oats

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

By now you all know, I am an oats girl. All oats, all the time, and turning all my favorite desserts into oats. So it was only a matter of time before I went all-in with bananas foster overnight oats. And believe me, I went ALL in.

What’s great is these oats are simple, low in added sugar (we only rely on the banana here!) and vegan. Plus they are super customizable. I highly endorse adding any and ALL toppings you want for this banana overnight oats recipe. You don’t *have* to be extra and grill the bananas like me, but it’s so so fun if you do.

Read on for alll the deets!

Ingredients for this banana overnight oats recipe

We only rely on the banana for sweetness here, so the ingredients are super basic. Feel free to add or subtract anything as you are feeling it!

  • 1 large banana
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup plant milk of choice
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 scoop unflavored protein powder optional
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxmeal
  • 1 tbsp raw almond butter
  • A tsp coconut oil for the pan, optional

How to make the flax topping

Flaxmeal is super versatile, I love using it to make a mock “crumble” topping for any and all of my oats (and some of my baked goods!)

I just discovered my favorites at Garden of Life have a flax seed blend and it is to DIE for. I mix equal parts flax with equal parts almond butter and it makes the perfect crumble.

How to make these overnight oats

A breakdown of instructions is here for everyone who wants the *specifics*

  • Slice the banana in half. Mash one half of the banana with the cinnamon until it is a paste.
  • Add the banana, oats, plant milk and chia seeds (protein powder as well if you are using it!) into your overnight oats container. Stir and set this in the fridge to chill.
  • Let the oats chill for 15 minutes up to 24 hours, they will thicken as they go, so it’s up to you how long you want to leave them!
  • To make the crumb topping, add the flaxmeal and almond butter together and mix until you get a crumbly, cookie-dough like texture.

Assembling these overnight oats

  • When you are ready to eat, slice the second half of the banana. Set a skillet to medium high heat and add the coconut oil. Grill the bananas for two minutes on each side, or until they are slightly golden brown.
  • Top the oats with the crumble and bananas and serve!

***NOTE – you definitely don’t have to grill the banana. It just adds another layer of fun and flavor to these overnight oats. When a banana caramelizes, it gets an extra layer of sweetness and umami from the sugars browning, so even if you don’t have time to try it today, I highly recommend using a lazy weekend to test it out!

And that’s it for this overnight oats recipe! If you make it, please tag me on Pinterest or Instagram so I can see! It’s my favorite thing to scroll through stories and see what you all are making <3

And of course feel free to leave any questions, comments or reviews! This is the best place to reach me, and I’d love to hear from you.

Bananas Foster Overnight Oats

These oats are quick, easy, delicious and filled with all the caramely notes of one of my favorite desserts, bananas foster, but with none of the rum and flambé-ing part 😉

Shaved Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranate Dressing Shaved Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranate Dressing and Chili Almonds! I usually don’t do baked salads back to back, but this dressing hit me like a ton of bricks and I needed to make it. It’s just the right amount of creamy, sweet and acidic, and the chili almonds balance everything out with a nutty crunch.

It serves four which means I have three servings in my fridge just WAITING for me, and I cannot wait. 

Full recipe is on the blog and linked in bio, and I hope you’ll love it if you make it!

BONUS EPISODE - How to make a sourdough starter! B BONUS EPISODE - How to make a sourdough starter! Because the end of summer is for building your starter and the fall is for using it 😎

I call this my “Low Discard Sourdough Starter” because I’ve always found myself frustrated by how much flour recipes tell you to waste when building a starter. This one starts with as little flour as possible, and uses a method that makes sure you’ll be ready to bake in less than 7 days. It differs a bit from the traditional method, but it’s fool-proof, and never fails me. 

This is a bit of a longer video, so feel free to save it as a resource for building your starter and visual cues! The full instructions are written out on the blog post linked below and in my bio. 

Let me know of any questions in the comments, and I hope this helps!
