Banoffee Overnight Oats
These banoffee overnight oats are inspired by the retro british dessert, and will save you time and stress in the morning!
To be honest, It took me a while to warm up to the idea of overnight oats, It always felt more satisfying to tuck into a steaming bowl of porridge, or crunchy granola and yoghurt. However, in the last year I’ve become a convert, and the reasons are twofold:
- Knowing that breakfast is already ready before I go to bed? I’m pretty sure I sleep better…
- BANOFFEE overnight oats
Yes, as soon as I discovered a recipe that tasted like the retro British dessert, I became hooked on the stuff. This breakfast is packed full of all kinds of lovely, nourishing ingredients- oats, chia seeds, peanut butter, dates, and of course banana! I absolutely love this before an early run or workout, it sticks with me but doesn’t feel heavy, and like I mentioned earlier, its ready and waiting for you when you get up!
Enjoy!
- ½ cup almond milk (unsweetened vanilla is particularly good in this)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (or flax)
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ cup oats
- 1 chopped date
- ½ banana, sliced
- Pour almond milk, chia seeds, peanut butter, and maple syrup in a jar, and stir until combined (it doesn't have to be perfect, I quite like getting a peanut buttery bite!)
- Add the oats and chopped date, and stir again until all of the oats are submerged in the milk mixture
- Put in the fridge overnight to chill and soak
- In the morning, add sliced bananas to the jar before devouring!
I love dates and peanut butter together so this combination sounds incredible! Definitely the kind of breakfast you can’t wait to wake up to!
Just saw you post this on the BGB thread. This looks fantastic. Can’t wait to make it! 😀
Thanks lady!!
Need to reignite my love for Overnight oats!
Dates and peanut butter is a delicious combo. These overnight oats look absolutely yummy!
Considering I’m a huge fan of both Banoffee pie and oatmeal, I think I’m going to absolutely love this! Also, I’ve just started training for a half marathon and thought of you, because I knew I could come here and get some great tips on what to eat whilst training. Good to know this is an Emma-approved pre-run breakfast! Thanks lady!
Great recipe, it looks yummy 🙂
