Banana Overnight Oats Recipe with Chia Seeds

This isn’t just any ‘ole breakfast though, this is healthy meets indulgent serious breakfast business, people.

Have you hopped aboard the overnight oats bandwagon yet? If you have, awesome!! Then you already know how delicious they are. If you haven’t, trust and believe, this creamy banana topped treat is a fantastic place to start!

Rolled oats are incredibly nutritious! They are a great source of fiber, loaded with important vitamins and contain more protein than most grains. Plus these banana overnight oats have the added health benefit of chia seeds, which are loaded with nutrients, antioxidants, protein and omega-3 fatty acids! Basically, these oats are winning in the health benefits department!

This no-cook oatmeal is sweet and savory with notes of warm cinnamon, cozy maple and delicious pops of jelly-like chia seeds.

But, that creamy dreamy bowl of oatmeal heaven becomes epic with the addition of bananas foster on top. The banana topping is sticky, crunchy, nutty and takes these overnight oats from delicious to EPIC!Straight on shot of rolled oats being poured into a glass jar containing milk, peanut butter and maple syrup - photo of the second part of step 1 of the Banana Overnight Oats recipe.

What are overnight oats?

Overnight oats are a healthy and delicious no-cook oatmeal made of rolled oats soaked in a liquid, most commonly milk or a dairy-free alternative such as almond milk. Sweetened and then mixed or shaken well, overnight oats should be allowed to soften in the refrigerator overnight until creamy and thick.

With less than 10 minutes of hands on prep time and minimum ingredients, overnight oats are perfect for breakfast on busy mornings and they make a wonderful, easy snack on the go!

Rich in fiber and highly customizable with various add-ins or toppings, these oats are a healthy and tasty meal option.

Are overnight oats considered raw? Are overnight oats cooked?

Unlike oatmeal, which is cooked, overnight oats contain uncooked, but softened, raw oats. The milk soaked oats are incredibly tender and creamy in texture and retain their fresh flavor since they are uncooked.

What milk for overnight oats?

You can use any type of milk or alternative milks, such as almond or coconut milk, to make this banana overnight oats recipe. If you are looking for a milk substitute, you can also use thinned out yogurt or keifer to make overnight oats!

Are overnight oats eaten cold?

Since overnight oats are made from rolled oats soaked in milk in the refrigerator overnight, they are typically eaten cold.

Can overnight oats be heated up or warmed up?

If cold overnight oats aren’t for you, they can be warmed up, or heated in the microwave.

Quickly heating the oats in the microwave will yield softer textured overnight oats.Overhead photo of banana foster topping in a cast iron skillet with a neutral linen tied around the skillet handle - photo of step 3 of the banana overnight oats recipe.

How to store overnight oats?

Overnight oats should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

How long do overnight oats last?

Overnight oats properly stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator will last for up to 5 days. It is important to note the oats will continue to soften the longer they sit in the refrigerator. If incredibly tender, creamy banana overnight oats are your jam, simply prepare them a few days in advance! If not, I recommend eating the oats within 2 days.

Can overnight oats be frozen?

Overnight oats can be frozen. Make sure you let the oats sit in the refrigerator to soften and absorb the liquid before freezing.

What is Bananas Foster topping? Why is it called Bananas Foster?

Bananas Foster is a delicious dessert consisting of bananas, vanilla ice cream and a sauce made up of brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, banana liqueur and dark rum. Typically the alcohol in the sauce is added last and ignited.

Bananas Foster was created in the New Orleans’ restaurant, Brennan’s, by Paul Blange and Ella Brennan in 1951.

In the early 50’s, New Orleans was a major port of entry for bananas being shipped from Central and South America. In order to promote bananas, the owner of Brennan’s challenged his chef, Blange, to include bananas in a dessert. Meanwhile, Holiday Magazine had asked Owen to provide a new recipe to include in an article spotlighting the restaurant. Thus, Bananas Foster was born, which is named after Owen’s friend, Richard Foster, who was a local business leader.Overhead photo of a jar of Banana Overnight Oats on a neutral colored plate with a spoon inserted into the oats and another jar of overnight oats, a jar of rolled oats and a ramekin of chia seeds arranged around the banana overnight oats.

How to make banana overnight oats? (Tips & Tricks)

  1. While I used light brown sugar in the banana overnight oats recipe below, you can use dark brown sugar.
  2. You can use any type of milk or alternative milks, such as almond or coconut milk, to make these oats. If you are looking for a milk substitute, you can also use thinned out yogurt or keifer!
  3. Overnight oats will keep, covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 5 days.
  4. Bananas foster topping will keep, covered in the refrigerator for 2 days. (The banana topping is great on top of pancakes, waffles and ice cream!)
  5. For smooth, creamy oats add ½ cup frozen sliced banana and place in a blender (after refrigeration). Blend until smooth.

These sweet and savory banana overnight oats will have you getting up on the right side of the bed in the morning! Creamy and packed full of protein, these oats make a delicious breakfast or mid-day snack!

What are you waiting for? Get on these oats and double up on the bananas foster topping! Your tummy will thank you!!

    Overnight oats are one of my go-tos when I’m going to have a busy morning. I usually just slice up a banana and throw it in the mix but I like this version a lot better. Any time I can incorporate some rum (even just the flavor) into my breakfast I’m happy :). Have a great week, Chey!

    Woah, we are always on the same wave length and share so many of the same interests, Cheyanne! Firstly, I was totally crushing on a vegan chocolate chia seed pudding I recently came across at my local health food store, and I was wondering how I would be able to recreate it as I’ve never used chia seeds before. This version with cinnamon and bananas looks AMAZING! I love health food when its done like this! 😉 Secondly, I totally binge watched MAM and was like speechless after all of it. I just can’t believe towns like that exist and that the justice system can be so screwed. Aside from the craziness of Avery’s case…it’s like what about his nephew!!? How can the police get away with questioning him like that, and without a freakin attorney!? I just don’t even understand…

    Anyways, another amazing recipe that I’ve saved from you! Thank you my dear <3

    This pudding looks superb and it must be if it includes a bananas foster topping! I love chia seeds, I put them in cookies, smoothies, you name it but nothing as decadent as this. I have not seen MAM but you’ve peaked my interest. I will be checking it out 🙂 . Take care.

    We totally binged on MAM and holy cow! The worst part about it is that you never get a definitive answer. It isn’t like watching a fictional television show where you find out the truth in the end. Gah! The worst! We fluctuated all over the place while watching it. The thing that drives me crazy is how mishandled everything was. Like if the investigators had been more on top of it from the begining they might actually have more answers. ANYWAY. Now I need some of this pudding to lower my blood pressure! I still need to try chia pudding, and these flavors look like the perfect way to start!

    We watched the first 2 episodes of MAM, but never finished. I’m not really sure why – I think we got caught up in other shows and I’ve read so much about it that I never felt the need to continue watching! I’d still like to see the entire thing, though. This chia seed pudding looks just wonderful! I loooooooove bananas foster, so this is just perfect, Cheyanne!

It stressed me out, yet I couldn’t stop watching it. This pudding is OMG yum and get in my belly. I certainly prefer my breakfast to taste like dessert, so you now I’m down for this! XOXO!!!

Clearly we are in the same late boat 😉 We’ve been totally binge watching, even falling asleep on the couch in the wee hours of the morning when we should have been in bed long ago (talk about some CRAZY dreams)! And I couldn’t agree more with your sentiments. Unfortunately this documentary doesn’t restore any confidence in my already lacking faith in the justice system.
    So on a lighter note… your recipe – totally amazing! As always, I’m so impressed with your flavor combinations – always stellar and on point! *Drooling!

I’ve really been enjoying teen shows like Faking It and Master of None (I’m late to the game) is so funny as well. Love this pudding, I’d love this for breakfast and anything with fried up bananas is a winner!

Indeed, I even got chia seeds last weekend, but I had no idea what kind of pudding to make. Until now. Maple syrup (yes!!!). Bananas (yess yess yess!!!!). Rum???? (Jumping). Chey, you’re genius.

Leave it to you to top chia pudding with the most wonderful topping, Chey!! I can eat the banana foster topping by the bowlful! Thanks for the 411 on bananas. I didn’t know they are good for blood pressure and keep you looking young. I knew I liked them for a reason, but I’m thinking maybe I should start eating them by the bunch! 🙂 I haven’t seen Making a Murder but have heard a lot of talk about it. It is making quite an impact on people.

    Making a Murderer was great, Cheyanne -wasn’t episode so sad. Have you seen “The Staircase” – that’s another incredible murder mystery, true crime mini-series. Also, the latest Serial pod cast is really good too. As for the chia seed pudding – I have yet to make one – but all the yummy flavors in this are calling my name. It looks sooo good!

    Girl, think you know exactly how I feel about MAM! I’m going to leave it at that because I can already feel my blood pressure rising and move on to this delicious breakfast! I make chia pudding for Chris pretty often using coconut milk, but he has never been lucky enough to have bananas foster on top! That’s one brilliant move, my friend! XO

    Cheyanne! You literally just combined everything on my breakfast-love-list right now to make this cinnamon maple chia pudding. So warming and filling for cold winter/spring months! But so delicious too!

    Hey Miss Cheyanne, glad to hear you had a great weekend, though not long enough of course. I have not watched MAM and now of course I must see, based on your recommendation. I really do like documentaries, though I fear I may get angry on this one. So this chia pudding with maple undertones sounds amazing. This New England girl loves anything maple and this sounds fabulous with the bananas foster topping. Wow.You know how to make it happen in a glass, girl. Cheers to your week ahead, I hope it is an excellent one! XOXO

      If you like documentaries you will like MAM, Allie. Well, I say “like” very lightly. It’s definitely disturbing, but moving and eye opening. And yes, you will probably get angry. 😉 I know you love maple syrup (hello, great taste buds crave alike!), so I’m glad you approve of this pudding! Thanks so much for the sweet comment, girlie! Cheers to a fabulous week! XO

    As a Minnesota resident I find that documentary waaay too close to home. The reasonable doubt is nuts. I mean, there wasn’t any blood in the garage! Yikes.
    On a happier note, I think you’re right and this will definitely make me a morning person. Chia pudding is the bomb anyway, but a bananas foster topping? Just let me shovel it into my mouth!

    Guuuuurl, you DID NOT just combine bananas foster and chia seed pudding. Hot damn. What an insanely delicious concept! Cheyanne, have I told you lately that I’m in love with your blog? Sigh… <3 Anyway, I haven't gotten onto the MAM train yet. I like my blood pressure the way it is. LOL. But yeah, people are talking about that doc like crazy. I keep hearing that eventually EVERYONE will give into watching it. Glad to hear it moved you (well, not bc you won't be moving to you know what county. haha). Alright, I have to go make chia seed pudding now. Sending big hugs! xoxo

I didn't know it was going to cause extreme anxiety and my blood pressure to go through the roof or I might have thought twice. But it was definitely a strangely fascinating and disturbing doc. Thanks so much for the comment love, chicka! Hugs right back at! XO

I’m one of those people who’s jumping and yelling at the screen. Haha. (Yes, it’s a real pleasure to watch tv with me). Okay, you’ve convinced me to stay far, far away.

    This is what Mondays are made for! Loving this healthy breakfast made super special with that delicious bananas foster – my kind of way to wake up 🙂
    We have started MOM but haven’t made it through. I’m a little hesitant to keep going because I’m already getting a sick feeling in my stomach… then again, it’s hard to look away so I’m sure we’ll power through and finish it soon. Then I’m going to do exactly like you and see the follow up. Nosy indeed 🙂

      I totally understand being hesitant to keep watching MAM, Kathryn! I felt the same way, but was weirdly addicted to the high blood pressure! Even though you KNOW the ending, I kept hoping somehow by watching it I could change the outcome. So glad I’m not the only one who is nosy! Ha! Thanks so much for the kind comment, my dear!

I’ve only made it one other time, but it failed in comparison to this. I love the bananas foster topping. SO creative, friend!

    I just finished MOM on Friday night and WHOA. I don’t know what it is, but something is very wrong…and I feel like the story isn’t over yet. We also watched Spotlight (right before the Oscars – can you say In The Nick Of Time?) – the world is one crazy place. We clearly need more chia pudding with banana deliciousness on it. Happy Monday, Cheyenne – have a glorious week! xo

I’m with you Cheyanne, I won’t be moving there or anywhere near there ever! I have not hopped on the chia seed bandwagon as of yet, but this looks totally delicious! That bananas foster topping has left me drooling! Have a great week!
