These chocolate banana overnight oats combine rolled oats, ripe banana, and chocolate protein powder to create a delicious and nutritious breakfast that feels like a treat. Easy to prepare ahead, this no-cook recipe is perfect for busy mornings and keeps well for up to five days in the fridge.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 banana, cut in half
  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats, not instant
  • 1½ cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 4 Tablespoons chocolate protein powder
  • ½ Tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 teaspoons cacao nibs
  • Almond butter, optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare banana: Cut one half of the banana into slices for topping, and mash the other half thoroughly to incorporate smoothly into the oats.
  2. Mix ingredients: In a bowl, combine the mashed banana, oats, almond milk, chocolate protein powder, and chia seeds. Stir well until the protein powder dissolves completely and the mixture is well blended.
  3. Divide and refrigerate: Transfer the oat mixture into two separate containers, such as mason jars. Seal them with lids and place in the refrigerator overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors.
  4. Serve: The next morning, remove one container from the fridge and stir the oats. If the mixture appears too thick, add a splash of almond milk to loosen it up. Top with the sliced banana, cacao nibs, and almond butter if desired for extra richness and texture. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Overnight oats can be stored in sealed containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making them great for meal prep.
  • Use old fashioned rolled oats rather than instant oats to achieve the best texture.
  • The optional almond butter adds flavor and healthy fats, but can be omitted if preferred.
  • If you prefer a sweeter breakfast, consider adding a drizzle of honey or maple syrup before refrigerating.
