Description
Sweet and creamy Banana Cream Pie Overnight Oats featuring a graham cracker crust, perfect for a delicious and nutritious make-ahead breakfast that combines the flavors of banana cream pie with the convenience of overnight oats.
Ingredients
For the crust:
- ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons milk
For the banana oats:
- ½ large ripe banana, mashed
- ½ cup milk
- ½ tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup quick, minute, or rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder
For the creamy topping:
- 2 tablespoons vanilla Greek yogurt
Optional toppings:
- Sliced bananas
- Crushed graham crackers
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a 10 oz mason jar or glass container, combine the graham cracker crumbs and milk. Mix until wet enough to stick together but not overly liquidy. Gently press the mixture into the bottom of the jar using a spoon to form an even crust layer.
- Make the banana oats mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together mashed banana, milk, maple syrup, vanilla Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the oats, chia seeds, and vanilla protein powder until well combined.
- Assemble and chill: Pour the oat mixture over the prepared graham cracker crust in the jar. Cover the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the oats to soften and flavors to meld.
- Add the creamy topping and serve: In the morning, top the chilled oats with the remaining 2 tablespoons of vanilla Greek yogurt. Add optional toppings such as sliced bananas or crushed graham crackers for extra flavor and texture before serving.
Notes
- Use any type of oats, such as quick, minute, or rolled oats, depending on your preference.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives.
- To increase protein content, choose a high-quality vanilla protein powder.
- The recipe is designed for one serving but can be easily multiplied for meal prep.
- Overnight refrigeration is key for optimal texture and flavor development.
