Introduction

This Banana Cream Pie Overnight Oats recipe combines the creamy sweetness of banana with a crunchy graham cracker crust for a delightful and nutritious breakfast. It’s easy to prepare ahead and perfect for busy mornings or a healthy snack.

A small clear glass jar filled with three visible layers: the bottom layer is a light brown mixture with chia seeds, the middle layer shows slices of yellow banana pressed against the glass, and the top layer is creamy white whipped yogurt sprinkled with crushed golden-brown granola and banana slices. A spoon is scooping some of the yogurt and granola from the jar. The jar is placed on a white marbled surface with broken pieces of granola biscuit and banana slices scattered around, and there are whole bananas blurred in the background.

Ingredients

¼ cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tbsp milk (for crust)
½ large ripe banana, mashed
½ cup milk (for oats mixture)
½ tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp vanilla Greek yogurt
1 tsp vanilla extract
⅓ cup oats (quick, minute, or rolled)
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp vanilla protein powder
2 tbsp vanilla Greek yogurt (for topping)
Sliced bananas (for topping)
Crushed graham crackers (for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: In a 10 oz mason jar or glass container, combine the graham cracker crumbs and 2 tablespoons of milk. The mixture should be moist enough to stick together but not too liquid. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the jar using a spoon to form the crust.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, ½ cup milk, maple syrup, 2 tablespoons vanilla Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3: Add the oats, chia seeds, and vanilla protein powder to the banana mixture. Stir well to combine, then pour this oat mixture over the graham cracker crust in the jar.
Step 4: Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
Step 5: In the morning, top the oats with the remaining 2 tablespoons of vanilla Greek yogurt. Add sliced bananas and crushed graham crackers on top for extra texture and flavor before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use almond or oat milk as a dairy-free alternative for a different flavor profile.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the oat mixture for extra warmth.
If you prefer a sweeter breakfast, increase the maple syrup slightly or add a drizzle of honey on top before serving.
Swap vanilla protein powder for plain or chocolate to change the taste.

Storage

Store the prepared overnight oats covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before eating, give the oats a gentle stir if they have thickened too much. They can be enjoyed cold or warmed slightly in the microwave.
