Start by gathering your ingredients. You will need rolled oats, almond milk, Nutella, a ripe banana, chia seeds, honey, salt, walnuts, and extra banana slices. In a medium bowl or jar, mix the rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Make sure the oats get well coated. This step is key for great texture. Next, stir in the Nutella. Mix until it blends smoothly with the oats. This creates a rich, chocolate base. Now, add your sliced banana. Lightly fold it into the mixture. Be careful not to mash the banana too much; you want those lovely chunks in each bite. If you like it sweeter, drizzle in honey and stir gently. Cover your bowl or jar tightly. Place it in the fridge overnight. This allows the oats to soak up the milk and flavors. In the morning, give your oats a good stir. If they seem too thick, add a splash of almond milk. Serve your oats in bowls or enjoy them straight from the jar. Top with more banana slices and chopped walnuts for that perfect crunch. To get the best texture for your oats, use rolled oats. They soak up liquid well and stay chewy. Almond milk works great, but feel free to switch it up. Whole milk or oat milk can also create a rich flavor. Mixing chia seeds in helps thicken your oats. They add healthy fiber too. Always stir the mixture well to coat every oat evenly. This will help create a smooth, creamy base. Want to mix it up? You can add different fruits like strawberries or blueberries. Try swapping Nutella for peanut butter or almond butter. You can also add a dash of cinnamon for warmth. If you love chocolate, add cocoa powder or chocolate chips for a richer taste. Experiment with different sweeteners too. Maple syrup or agave nectar can change the flavor profile nicely. The best part about overnight oats is how easy they are to prepare. You can make several jars at once. Just double or triple the recipe and store them in the fridge. They keep well for up to five days. In the morning, grab one and enjoy. This makes breakfast super simple and fast. You can even pack them for work or school. Add toppings right before eating for a fresh crunch. {{image_2}} If you want to make this recipe dairy-free, use almond milk or oat milk. These options taste great and keep the oats creamy. Coconut milk is another fun choice. It adds a tropical twist to your oats. You can boost flavors by adding more fruits or nuts. Try adding berries like strawberries or blueberries. They add a bright taste. You can also chop up apples for a crunchy bite. Walnuts give a nice crunch, but you can use almonds or pecans, too. Nutella is amazing, but you can switch it up! Try peanut butter for a rich taste. Almond butter is another good choice; it’s smooth and nutty. Sunflower seed butter is perfect for those with nut allergies. Each nut butter brings its own flavor, making it fun to explore. You can keep your Banana Nutella overnight oats in the fridge for up to 3 days. Store them in an airtight jar or container. This helps keep the oats fresh. Each time you grab a jar, give it a good stir. If the oats seem thick, add a splash of almond milk. This keeps the oats creamy and easy to eat. Freezing overnight oats is possible, but it's best to avoid it if you can. The texture may change when thawed. If you choose to freeze, use a freezer-safe jar. Fill it about three-quarters full, leaving space for the oats to expand. Thaw in the fridge overnight before eating. If you prefer warm oats, you can reheat them. Simply transfer your oats to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir halfway through to ensure even heating. If they are too thick, add a touch of almond milk before warming. Enjoy them warm with your favorite toppings! Banana Nutella Overnight Oats last about 3 to 5 days in the fridge. Keep them in a sealed jar. The oats stay soft, and the flavor stays fresh. However, I recommend eating them within 3 days for the best taste. The banana may brown over time, but it still tastes good. Yes, you can use quick oats if you prefer. Quick oats soak up the liquid faster and become softer. This means your oats may be a bit mushier. If you like a creamier texture, quick oats work well. Just remember, the soak time may be less since they are thinner. Yes! This recipe is perfect for meal prep. You can make several jars at once. Just follow the recipe and store them in the fridge. Grab a jar each morning for a quick, tasty breakfast. You can even change up the toppings to keep it exciting all week long.
