Ingredients

¼ cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tbsp milk (for crust)

½ large ripe banana, mashed
½ cup milk

½ tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp vanilla Greek yogurt

1 tsp vanilla extract
⅓ cup oats (quick, minute, or rolled)
1 tbsp chia seeds

1 tbsp vanilla protein powder
2 tbsp vanilla Greek yogurt (for topping)
Sliced bananas (for topping)

Crushed graham crackers (for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: In a 10 oz mason jar or glass container, combine graham cracker crumbs and 2 tablespoons of milk. Mix until the crumbs are wet enough to stick together but not overly liquidy. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom to form a crust.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, ½ cup milk, maple syrup, 2 tablespoons vanilla Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3: Add oats, chia seeds, and vanilla protein powder to the banana mixture. Stir well to combine, then pour the oat mixture over the graham cracker crust in the jar. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
Step 4: In the morning, top your oats with the remaining 2 tablespoons of vanilla Greek yogurt. Garnish with sliced bananas and crushed graham crackers as desired, then enjoy.

Tips & Variations

Use plant-based milk and yogurt to make this recipe dairy-free and vegan-friendly.

For extra creaminess, add a spoonful of nut butter to the oat mixture before refrigerating.
Swap maple syrup for honey or agave syrup to suit your taste preferences.
Extra protein lovers can increase the protein powder to 2 tablespoons or add Greek yogurt on top.

Storage

Store the overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before eating. You can enjoy them cold straight from the fridge or warm gently in the microwave for 30–60 seconds, removing any toppings first.

How to Serve

Two glass jars hold a layered banana chia pudding dessert. The bottom layer is light brown with chia seeds visible, showing a thick pudding texture. In the middle, there is a layer of banana slices, pale yellow with soft texture, pressed against the glass. On top, there is a creamy white layer of whipped cream or yogurt, sprinkled with small golden brown crumbs and extra banana slices. One jar is slightly behind the other, and a spoon is scooping some pudding from the front jar. Around the jars are broken golden brown biscuit pieces, a banana, and banana slices on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular oats instead of quick oats?

Yes, rolled oats or quick oats work best for a creamy texture after soaking overnight. Steel-cut oats are not recommended as they take longer to soften.
