# Instructions:
01 -
In a jar or container, combine 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed for your Banana Cream Pie Overnight Oats: Guilt-Free Breakfast Prep.
02 -
In a separate small bowl, mash 1/2 ripe banana until smooth. Fold in 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (0% or 2% fat) and, if desired, 1/4 tsp banana extract. Mix until creamy and well combined, forming the delicious banana dream layer for your breakfast.
03 -
Pour the oat foundation mixture into your serving jar. Carefully spoon the creamy banana dream layer on top of the oats. You can gently swirl it in or keep it as a distinct layer, preparing your Banana Cream Pie Overnight Oats: Guilt-Free Breakfast Prep for chilling.
04 -
Cover the jar tightly with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours, or preferably overnight. This crucial step allows the oats and chia seeds to soften and thicken, creating the perfect texture for your Banana Cream Pie Overnight Oats: Guilt-Free Breakfast Prep.
05 -
Just before serving, slice the remaining 1/2 ripe banana. In a small bowl, crush 1 full sheet graham cracker and combine with 1 tbsp chopped pecans and 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon. These toppings add delightful texture and flavor to your oats.
06 -
Remove your chilled Banana Cream Pie Overnight Oats: Guilt-Free Breakfast Prep from the refrigerator. Arrange the fresh 1/2 ripe banana slices on top, then sprinkle generously with the graham cracker, pecan, and cinnamon mixture. Enjoy your ready-to-eat, guilt-free breakfast!
