A cozy, creamy overnight oats recipe that captures the nostalgic flavor of banana bread with a silky smooth texture, perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (about 45g)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/4 cup small-curd cottage cheese (about 60g)
  • 1/2 cup milk (120ml), whole, almond, or oat milk
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mash 1 ripe medium banana with a fork in a mixing bowl until mostly smooth with a few small lumps remain (1-2 minutes).
  2. Add 1/4 cup small-curd cottage cheese to the mashed banana and blend with a fork or whisk until creamy and smooth (about 1 minute).
  3. Add 1/2 cup milk, 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional), 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir well to combine.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional), and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until oats are evenly coated and mixture looks creamy (1-2 minutes).
  5. Spoon the mixture into 1 or 2 mason jars or airtight containers. Seal tightly and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats well. Add extra milk if a thinner consistency is desired. Garnish with sliced banana, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. Serve cold or let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Blend cottage cheese well for smooth texture. Chia seeds add thickness and nutrition but are optional. Adjust milk quantity for desired consistency. Refrigerate at least 6 hours for best texture. Can substitute dairy ingredients for vegan alternatives but creaminess may vary.
