Why ‘Overnight’ Oats?
Soaking grains overnight makes them easier to digest and gives them a firmer texture than cooking. People that object to cooked oats because of the ‘mush factor’ often appreciate overnight oats because they feel a little more muesli like.

Enjoy at a Leisurely Pace or Grab and Go!
Another benefit of overnight oats is that you prepare them the night before, so you can simply grab and go in the morning, eating in the car, at the gym or at work. Hey we know you’re busy. Of course you can enjoy them at your kitchen table or snuggled under a blanket together on the sofa too. Anything goes!
So What’s in Them and On Them?
In this case, we mix whole old fashioned rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, almond butter and maple syrup and let soak overnight. The next morning we top with more almond butter, bananas and shredded coconut!
The Recipe: Maple, Almond Butter and Banana Overnight Oats
Tips and what you need: If you are making this for a ‘grab and go’ we recommend using small mason jars or a container with a lid. We love black chia seeds for this recipe.
Oats prepared the night before so you can grab and go or enjoy leisurely the next morning!
- 3 tablespoons almond butter
- 3 Tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats

Yes!!! Overnight oats are such a speedy and perfect breakfast. I love the banana and almond butter combination too. What a delicious breakfast idea!!
LOVE the combo of maple and almond butter! I’m not a banana fan though… do you think applesauce or pumpkin puree would work instead?
I know you do NOT like bananas! Applesauce, particularly a pink one made in the Instant Pot would be perfect;)
Mmmm. This looks so filling and yummy! Definitely making it next time I need a lazy morning.
We need an overnight breakfast for tomorrow- totally making this tonight haha looks awesome!
Thanks Shelby!
Oh! Overnight deliciousness!! This recipe is a new fan favourite in our household.
