How to make, Easy Banana and Blueberry Overnight Oats
This Easy, Banana and Blueberry Overnight Oats breakfast is great. Fresh fruit, and oats. What’s not to like!
I like to use a small food processor the mix the ingredients but if you don’t have one, don’t worry. The processor gives a slightly smoother texture, but you can mix everything in a small bowl using a fork to break it down.
We are using two types of oats. The rolled oats give the body, and the jumbo oats provide some extra texture.
Easy, Banana and Blueberry Overnight Oats.
Makes enough for two people.
- 70g rolled oats
- 150ml milk
- 80g Greek yoghurt
- ½ ripe banana
- 1tbs lemon juice
- 1tsp ground flax seed
- Pinch salt
- 2tbs maple syrup
- ¼ tsp vanilla essence
- 2tbs jumbo oats
Mixing.
Slice the banana and put into the processor with everything apart from the jumbo oats.
Pulse the machine to break everything down, but don’t overdo it. Leave some texture in the mixture. Stir in the jumbo oats then transfer to a storage jar and pop into the fridge overnight.
The mixture will keep in the fridge for two to three days, so it ideal to have on hand for a quick breakfast if you have a busy day.
To Serve Banana and Blueberry Overnight Oats.
½ banana, sliced
Handful fresh blueberries
1tsp golden syrup
This is really quick to serve. Spoon the overnight oats into two glasses, place some sliced banana on the oats and scatter some blueberries on top. Drizzle the fruit with golden syrup then tuck in.
Tip.
If you are planning a picnic split the mixture into two jars before refrigerating. You can then top the oats with fruit and syrup in the jars then secure the lid. A great portable treat!
Enjoy Life!
