These 5 Minute Chocolate Banana Overnight Oats are loaded with sliced banana, rolled oats, almond milk, cacao powder, chia seeds, and a touch of maple syrup to sweeten it. They are seriously so easy to make the night before and take about 1 minute to prepare the next morning!
I like to stir in some almond or peanut butter as well, but that’s totally optional. You could serve with a spoonful on top with any other toppings you desire!
If you have 5 minutes to spare, you should definitely make these overnight oats! You will thank me in the morning.
First, combine everything together in a mixing bowl until well combined. Then, simply divide the mixture evenly among two mason jars or containers, cover, and refrigerate overnight. It’s that easy!
In the morning, you can either enjoy them cold or heat up for 25-30 seconds before adding your toppings.
A few toppings I like:
- banana
- nut butter (peanut or almond are my favorites)
- cinnamon
- cacao nibs
- fresh fruit
- coconut
I hope you love them!! If you do try them, I would be so appreciative if you left a comment/review below. It helps so much!! Thank you!! xo, Lindsay
