    Imagine waking up to the delightful flavour of banana bread without any of the baking.

    Folks, this healthy breakfast banana overnight oats recipe actually tastes like banana bread!

    It doesn't take longer than 5 minutes to measure out all the ingredients and mix them up in a bowl, ready for the morning.

    It's similar to my version of Bircher Muesli, in that it needs to be made the evening before, and stored in the fridge overnight.

    This way the oats have time to absorb the liquid and the banana flavour, which is what gives you that much needed "boost" in the morning!

    Plus, you'll love how the natural sweetness of the banana melds with the creamy oats, creating a breakfast that's both nourishing and indulgent.

    Two bowls of breakfast banana boost. An easy overnight oats recipe decorated with bananas.

    This healthy make ahead breakfast only requires a handful of ingredients.

    You can easily make this overnight oats banana breakfast recipe your own by changing / varying the toppings. There's no limit of flavour combinations!

    Overnight oats are cheap to make. You can easily make these the night before and take them to work with you saving you thoe cost of buying a breakfast.

    You'll also love that there is hardly any washing up involved here because you can mix everything together in the same bowl!

    🥘 Ingredients

    • Porridge Oats
    • No Fat Greek Yogurt
    • Skimmed Milk
    • Vanilla Essence
    • Sultanas
    • Sliced Banana

    See recipe card for quantities.

    🔪 How To Make Breakfast Banana Boost Overnight Oats

    1. Put all the ingredients go into a medium sized bowl / casserole dish, the night before you want it for breakfast. Ensure the banana slices are covered in the liquid.
    2. Refrigerate it overnight.
    3. Take it out of the fridge in the morning and decorate with fruit of your choice.
    4. I like it with some more banana slices and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

    📖 Substitutions

    • Porridge Oats - just use plain porridge oats. Do not use quick oats or steel cut oats.
    • No Fat Greek Yogurt - you can also use dairy free yogurt to make this vegan.
    • Skimmed Milk - you can also use coconut or almond milk to make this vegan or dairy free.
    • Vanilla Essence
    • Sultanas
    • Sliced Banana

    👨🏻‍🍳 Suggested Toppings For Banana Overnight Oats

    • Fruits - extra banana slices. Other fresh fruits like blueberries, strawberries or raspberries also work well too.
    • Dried Fruit - other than sultanas, apples, raisins, dates and goji berries are excellent choices too.
    • Nuts - sprinkle some chopped mixed nuts over the top for some added crunch.
    • Chia Seeds - to make your overnight oats even more creamy you could stir in a tablespoon of chia seeds to the mixture the night before.

      I just had overnight oats this morning and I love the idea of putting a banana in to sit overnight! I usually just throw one on top so I can't wait to try it!

        I can guarantee that if the bowl were real, you wouldn't be staring at it for quite so long, as you would have scoffed it down.

        You are right Gigi it really is deliciousness! ๐Ÿ˜€

      I often make this and it's delicious! I don't recommend leaving it too long in the fridge though or the bananas go off-color!
