Hello! This is Allison from Celebrating Sweets. Our mornings are hectic so I find myself relying on make-ahead breakfast ideas to get my kids fed and out the door on time for school. I recently began making overnight oats, and my family loves them. There are a million different varieties and flavorings, so it’s fun to get creative with your favorite mix ins and toppings. One of my favorites is my Strawberry Almond Overnight Oats!

These Brown Sugar Banana Overnight Oats are the perfect make-ahead breakfast. It’s a great grab-and-go breakfast for those busy mornings when you are headed to work or school.

What Exactly are Overnight Oats?

Just in case you’re unfamiliar with overnight oats, I’ll explain. You take rolled oats, milk, and flavorings, and combine them in a jar or bowl. They sit in the refrigerator overnight and the oats soften and absorb the liquid and flavorings. The end result is a bowl of oatmeal that is tender and creamy and tastes like it has been cooked even though it hasn’t. You can enjoy the oats warm or cold.

Earlier this year I made a Brown Sugar Banana French Toast Casserole and I fell in love with that flavor combination. I decided to use those flavors in this healthier classic too.

Brown Sugar Banana Overnight Oats

The oats are sweetened and flavored with brown sugar and a touch of cinnamon. Right before serving I stir in peanut butter (or almond butter), sliced bananas, and an extra sprinkling of brown sugar.

I almost always have these pantry staples on hand so I can make these overnight oats whenever we crave a breakfast on the healthy side that tastes more like a dessert!

    Hi, Can you tell me if this would work with steel cut oats? They don't have to be cooked? Thanks Frank

      Hi Frank. This will NOT work with steel cut oats. The oats are not cooked, they just absorb liquid and soften overnight. Steel cut oats need to be cooked since they are much firmer.

      Did you stir the peanut butter in to the mixture or just plop it in? If mixed in, it will just be thicker. If you plopped it in without mixing, you will have a ball of peanut butter that i hard to blend in. No harm though.

      Although we have no calculated the full nutritional content or calories on this recipe, it is not intended for those individuals counting calories. It is high in protein and nutrients, but definitely not a "diet" food by any means!

      Hi! I put this recipe into my FitBit, minus the peanut butter (I left that out), and here's the resulting nutrition: - Calories: 329 - Fat: 8.3 - Fiber: 7.9 - Carbs: 54 - Sodium: 63.4 - Protein: 11.4 And again, this doesn't include the peanut butter, so heads up! Hope this helps! :)

      This recipe works best if followed as is. Not sure about the quick oats so we'd really stick to the original for best results!

    Will they hold up in mason jars if I make these for the school week? Or do you recommend doing this every night?

      We would think just a couple of days at a time would be best because bananas brown so quickly.

      It contains sugar so you should really consult your doctor regarding any health concerns!
