A cozy and easy overnight oats recipe sweetened with brown sugar and maple syrup, topped with warm caramelized banana slices for a comforting breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large banana, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, stir together rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt until sugar dissolves and mixture is well blended (3-5 minutes).
  2. Pour the oat mixture into a jar or airtight container, seal, and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  3. When ready to serve, heat butter or coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Slice the banana into 1/4-inch thick rounds and caramelize in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp, about 5-6 minutes total.
  5. Remove oats from fridge and stir to blend any separated liquid.
  6. Spoon oats into a serving bowl or eat directly from the jar.
  7. Top with warm caramelized banana slices. Optionally drizzle extra maple syrup or sprinkle cinnamon.
  8. Enjoy immediately or microwave for 20-30 seconds for a warm version.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Bananas should be ripe but firm with brown spots for perfect caramelizing. For vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and butter with coconut oil. Stir in a splash of milk if oats are too thick after soaking. Caramelize bananas on medium heat and flip gently to avoid burning.
