What Are Banana Pudding Overnight Oats?

Our banana pudding overnight oats are a creamy, flavorful way to start your day. This recipe combines the wholesome goodness of oats with the nostalgic taste of banana pudding, for a breakfast that’s not only nutritious but also super satisfying. It’s perfect for those busy mornings when you want something quick yet indulgent.

Overnight oats are a brilliant solution for anyone with a hectic schedule. You simply mix the ingredients the night before, let them sit in the fridge, and wake up to a ready-to-eat breakfast. The addition of banana pudding mix gives these oats a fun twist, making them taste just like a classic Southern dessert.

Ingredients You Need

• Rolled Oats – These are the star of the show! They provide a hearty and nutritious base for our overnight oats. We love using rolled oats because they soak up the flavors beautifully overnight.
• Almond Milk (or your choice of milk) – This adds a creamy texture to the oats. Almond milk is our go-to for its subtle nutty flavor, but any milk will work well.
• Chia Seeds – These tiny seeds are packed with nutrients and help to thicken the oats. We add chia seeds for their fantastic texture and their health benefits.
• Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix – This is the secret ingredient that adds sweetness and creaminess without any extra effort.
• Creamy Peanut Butter – A spoonful of peanut butter adds protein and a delicious nutty flavor. It makes the oats extra rich and satisfying.
• Chocolate Chips (optional) – If you’re in the mood for a bit of indulgence, chocolate chips are a fun, sweet addition. 
• Maple Syrup – Drizzle this on top to sweeten your oats naturally.

How to Make Banana Pudding Overnight Oats

1. Mix the Base. In a mason jar or bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, instant vanilla pudding mix, and creamy peanut butter. Stir until well combined.
2. Add Optional Ingredients. If using, add chocolate chips and a drizzle of maple syrup to the mixture. Stir again to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
3. Refrigerate Overnight. Cover your jar or bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak and thicken overnight.
4. Add Sliced Bananas. In the morning, give the oats a good stir and top with freshly sliced bananas. Enjoy!

Variations

• Berries – Add a handful of fresh berries for a bright, fruity twist.
• Nuts – Top with chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch and protein.
• Spices – Add a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg for a cozy and warm flavor.
• Chocolate – Mix in some cocoa powder or use chocolate pudding for a chocolatey version of these oats.
• Coconut – Use coconut milk instead of almond milk for a slightly tropical flavor.

Can I Store Leftovers?

Absolutely! These oats are meant to be stored, making them the perfect meal-prep solution. 

Keep these oats in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Freezing the oats is not recommended. Once thawed, they are unlikely to have the same consistency.
