Banana Cinnamon Overnight Oats Recipe
Why not add some chopped nuts like almonds or hazelnuts and mix them in before eating for a bit of “crunch” in your tasty banana oats breakfast?
I’d love to hear what you think of my recipe in the comments below and please do rate my recipe 5* if you like it! 🙂
- 1 ripe banana chopped
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 180 ml skimmed milk
- ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 40 g porridge oats
- 2 tbsp raisins or sultanas
- Extra banana slices
- Place the banana, maple syrup, milk and cinnamon in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Transfer the liquid mixture to a bowl, combine with the yogurt, oats and raisins. Cover the bowl and put in the fridge overnight.
- In the morning spoon the mixture into a breakfast / serving bowl and top with the extra banana slices.
Make this just before you go to bed, not too soon or the banana mixture will turn off colour. It's still OK to eat if it does, it just might not look that appetising that's all!

March 28, 2019 at 12:34 pmI love a good batch of overnight oats! The addition of bananas and cinnamon here are right up my flavor alley, too. We typically just do cereal or Greek yogurt after our morning workouts, but if I think ahead enough I could have a batch of these overnight oats instead. Sounds delicious, my friend!

April 2, 2019 at 6:19 amThanks Laura. I just think that the added banana gives the recipe a natural sweetness so you don’t have to add any sugar to it to sweeten it up! 🙂

April 3, 2019 at 11:08 amI’m not a huge fan of overnight oats because I love my porridge hot, but bananas, maple, and cinnamon are one of my favourite toppings for it. I also like adding a spoon of peanut butter, but some people think this is insane:) Either warm or chilled, oatmeal is always a good idea!

April 5, 2019 at 4:20 amI think its a personal preference Ben. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with adding a little bit of what you fancy to your porridge in my opinion!
