Banana Chia Overnight Oats

Prep Time5 minutes
Chill Time10 hours
Total Time10 hours 5 minutes
Course: Breakfast, Snack
Cuisine: American
Servings: 1 8oz. serving

Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ¾ cup canned coconut milk 
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  • Combine the rolled oats, coconut milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Stir well so all the ingredients are mixed together. 
  • Cover and chill overnight in the refrigerator for approximately 10-12 hours. 
  • Remove the oats from the refrigerator when you are ready to eat. In a smaller container, scoop half of the oats followed by half of the banana slices. Layer the remaining oats and top with the rest of the banana slices.
  • Drizzle with honey and additional chia seeds and enjoy. 

Notes

  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but do not add toppings until you are about to consume. They will get soggy otherwise. 
  • We highly recommend using canned coconut milk for an extra strong flavor, but you can substitute with the kind from the carton. You may only need ½ cup if using something other than canned.
  • Feel free to substitute the milk with dairy, oat, or almond milk if you do not like coconut. 
  • The oats will be quite thick and the chia seeds will absorb the milk as well. It will be a thick pudding. You can mix in additional milk to prior to eating if prefer a thinner consistency.
