This almond butter banana overnight oats recipe will become your absolute favorite make-ahead breakfast. It's not just tasty, but also packed with health benefits. The banana provides natural sweetness and a dose of potassium, while the almond butter adds protein and healthy fats to keep you energized throughout the day.
Combine the rolled oats, plain yogurt, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a mason jar or airtight container. Stir well until everything is thoroughly mixed.
Add the almond butter to the mixture and stir until evenly distributed throughout the oats.
Gently fold the mashed banana, ensuring it's well incorporated into the mixture.
Seal the jar or container and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours, to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give it a good stir. You can add an extra splash of milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
Serve it in small bowls. Optionally, you can top with additional sliced bananas, or other fresh fruit, a drizzle of almond butter, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.

Storage Suggestions
Once you've made Almond Butter Overnight Oats with Banana, transfer them into an airtight container or jar and store them in the refrigerator. Ensuring a tight seal on the container will keep them fresh and prevent fridge odors from affecting the taste. In the fridge, these oats will stay good for about 2-3 days. When it's time to enjoy them, you can have them cold right out of the fridge or warm them up in the microwave for a cozy breakfast.
Why not prepare a double batch (or even triple 😉) to cover several mornings with breakfast? It's an intelligent meal prep strategy that saves time and ensures you always have a nutritious meal ready for busy mornings.
