01 -
In a jar or container, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated for your Banana Cream Pie Overnight Oats | High Protein Breakfast.
02 -
Add 1 scoop (approx. 30g) vanilla protein powder and 1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt to the oat mixture. Stir vigorously until smooth and no lumps remain. This creates the creamy, high-protein foundation for your breakfast.
03 -
In a separate small bowl, mash 1/2 medium ripe banana thoroughly. Stir in 1 tbsp maple syrup and 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon until well combined. This flavorful swirl is key to the "Banana Cream Pie" taste.
04 -
Gently fold the mashed banana mixture into the oat base. You can swirl it in for a marbled effect or mix it completely, depending on your preference. Ensure even distribution of the banana goodness throughout your Banana Cream Pie Overnight Oats.
05 -
Cover the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soften and thicken, creating the perfect creamy texture for your Banana Cream Pie Overnight Oats | High Protein Breakfast.
06 -
Just before serving, prepare your toppings. Crush 1 tbsp graham crackers, slice 1/4 medium ripe banana, and chop 1 tbsp walnuts. These garnishes add essential texture and fresh flavor to your Banana Cream Pie Overnight Oats.

Remove the chilled overnight oats from the refrigerator. Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers, sliced banana, and chopped walnuts over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, high-protein breakfast!
# Notes:
01 -
For an extra protein boost or different flavor, try chocolate protein powder and a sprinkle of cocoa powder in the oat base.
02 -
These overnight oats can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them perfect for meal prep.
03 -
Adjust the amount of maple syrup in the banana swirl to your personal sweetness preference. A riper banana will naturally add more sweetness.
04 -
If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash more almond milk before serving. For a thicker texture, reduce the milk slightly next time.
