I’m all about an easy breakfast, especially when I can make it the night before! From egg muffins to breakfast casseroles, if there’s a breakfast recipe that lets me sleep in a few extra minutes, I’m all in (can you tell I’m NOT a morning person?).
Banana Overnight Oats
That’s why I love these banana overnight oats. They only take a few minutes to make the night before and then when I wake up, all I need to do is grab a spoon. It really doesn’t get much easier than that!
Just start with old fashioned rolled oats in a pint size mason jar…
and add milk.
Next, add salt, sweetener and a mashed banana.
Finally, add vanilla, cinnamon and pecans.
Refrigerate overnight and when you wake up, your banana overnight oats will be waiting for you!
The beauty of these is that you can eat them cold or warm them up in the microwave. Either way, they’ll be so delish!
