Notes
- Watch the Video Recipe – For a better understanding of how to make this recipe, I recommend watching the video recipe. It provides step-by-step guidance and useful tips to ensure perfect overnight oats every time.
- Check the FAQs – Have questions about ingredient substitutions, storage, or texture? Make sure to read the FAQs located under the recipe card for detailed answers and troubleshooting tips.
- Customize Your Sweetness – The recipe includes maple syrup or any sweetener as optional. If your banana is ripe and naturally sweet, you may not need additional sweeteners. Adjust according to your preference.
- Use the Right Oats – Rolled oats work best for this recipe because they absorb liquid well while maintaining a good texture. Avoid instant oats, as they can become too mushy, and steel-cut oats, which won’t soften enough overnight.
- Peanut Butter Alternatives – If you have a peanut allergy or prefer a different flavor, you can swap peanut butter with almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter.
- Storage & Meal Prep – This recipe can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in an airtight container. If meal prepping, you can prepare multiple jars in advance for a quick and nutritious breakfast.
- Nutritional Values – The nutritional information includes all listed ingredients, including toppings (chocolate chips, walnuts, and extra banana slices). If you modify the recipe or omit certain toppings, the calorie count and macronutrients will vary.
