Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your milk of choice)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and protein
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (or honey, adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch cinnamon optional
Toppings
  • Sliced fresh banana optional
  • Crushed graham crackers or granola optional
  • Whipped cream optional, for a true pie experience!
  • Toasted slivered almonds optional

Equipment

  • Jar or airtight container
  • Small Bowl
  • Fork

Method
 

  1. In a jar or an airtight container, add the rolled oats and chia seeds. If you're using cinnamon, add a pinch here as well. This initial step ensures that your oats and chia seeds are evenly distributed before adding the liquid.

  2. Take your ripe banana and thoroughly mash it with a fork in a separate small bowl. The riper the banana, the sweeter and more flavorful your oats will be, bringing that authentic banana cream pie essence.

  3. To the jar with the oats and chia seeds, add the mashed banana, unsweetened almond milk, plain Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

  4. Stir all the ingredients together vigorously until everything is well combined and there are no dry clumps of oats or chia seeds. Gently mix in the mashed banana, ensuring it's integrated into the liquid base. This thorough mixing is crucial for achieving a consistent and creamy texture as the oats absorb the liquid.
  5. Secure the lid on your jar or container. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This "cooking" process allows the oats and chia seeds to soften and absorb the liquid, thickening the mixture into a delightful, pudding-like consistency.
  6. In the morning, give your Banana Cream Pie Overnight Oats a good stir. If it's too thick for your liking, you can add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency. Spoon the oats into a bowl and add your favorite toppings. Think fresh banana slices, a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers for that pie crust crunch, a swirl of whipped cream for pure decadence, or a handful of toasted almonds for added texture and nutty flavor.
