Craving something chocolatey for breakfast that feels like dessert but is secretly good for you? These Banana Chocolate Overnight Oats are the answer!
Whether you’re rushing out the door or easing into your morning, this recipe has your back. It’s rich, chocolatey, naturally sweetened with banana, and packed with fiber to keep you full and energized.
I’ve seriously been making these on repeat because they’re that good, and did I mention that they only take 5 minutes?! I know I’m no stranger to quick and healthy breakfasts, but you seriously can’t beat these!
Sneaky Healthy, Totally Delicious
Not only are these vegan overnight oats easy and delicious, but they’re also packed with 15 grams of protein and 14 grams of fiber per serving, which you know makes me very happy as a Registered Dietitian!
The Secret to Creamy (Not Mushy) Oats
Just like in my equally delicious Salted Caramel Overnight Oats, I’ve tested these banana chocolate overnight oats with both large flake oats and quick oats, and trust me, the texture is so much better with large flake, since the quick-cooking oats tend to get a bit mushy.
If you want something super fresh and healthy to pair with this chocolate overnight oats recipe, you need to try my High Protein Strawberry Smoothie! It couldn’t be easier to whip up and is packed with 20g of plant-based protein, without using any protein powder!
Pick Your Perfect Sweetener
Now, I’ve tested these high protein overnight oats using maple syrup as the sweetener, but I also love them sweetened with my 5-Minute Date Paste Caramel for a little extra boost of fiber and caramel-y deliciousness!
