Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tbsp milk
Oat Mixture
- 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
Topping
- 2 tbsp vanilla Greek yogurt
- Sliced bananas (for garnish)
- Crushed graham crackers (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a 10 oz mason jar or glass container, combine ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs with 2 tablespoons of milk. Mix until the crumbs are wet enough to stick together but avoid making the mixture too liquidy. Press this mixture gently into the bottom of the jar with a spoon to form a compact crust layer.
- Make the Oat Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together ½ mashed large ripe banana, ½ cup milk, ½ tablespoon maple syrup, 2 tablespoons vanilla Greek yogurt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in ⅓ cup oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and 1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder until fully combined.
- Assemble and Chill: Pour the oat mixture over the graham cracker crust in the jar. Cover the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
- Serve and Garnish: In the morning, top the soaked oats with the remaining 2 tablespoons of vanilla Greek yogurt. Garnish with additional sliced bananas and crushed graham crackers as desired before enjoying.
Notes
- Use rolled or quick oats based on preference; rolled oats provide a chewier texture while quick oats absorb liquid faster.
- Substitute maple syrup with honey or agave for different sweetness options.
- For a vegan version, replace the Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and use a plant-based milk.
- Protein powder is optional but adds extra nutritional value and helps keep you fuller longer.
- Make sure to mash the banana well for smooth texture in the oat mixture.
