Wake up to the delightful aroma of banana bread with this easy and wholesome overnight oatmeal!
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Masher or fork
- Glass jars or containers
- Spoon
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas mashed
- 3 tbsp unsweetened almond butter
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 to 3 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey optional, adjust for sweetness
- 2 to 4 tbsp protein powder optional, for a protein boost
- 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp sea salt to balance the sweetness
Instructions
- Mash the bananas until smooth in a mixing bowl. The riper the bananas, the sweeter your oatmeal will be!
- Add the almond butter to the mashed bananas and mix until well combined to create a creamy base.
- Pour in the almond milk and vanilla extract, stirring to combine. If using, add maple syrup or honey at this stage.
- Add the rolled oats, protein powder (if using), ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
- Divide the mixture into glass jars or containers, sealing them tightly. Refrigerate overnight to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors.
- In the morning, stir your oatmeal, top with additional almond butter, fresh fruit, and hemp seeds. Enjoy cold or warm in the microwave!
Notes
- This recipe is forgiving; substitute almond butter with peanut or sunflower seed butter.
- Add more almond milk for a creamier texture.
- Store jars in the fridge for up to 5 days for a quick breakfast.
