Culinary Pursuits: Banana & Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Overnight Oats

April 1, 2016

There are probably a million overnight oats recipes floating around the Internet. Change that to a million and one. I’ve been hearing about this overnight oats business for ages, but never got around to making them. Well, I finally decided to make my own and I’m quite happy with how they turned out. Check out my recipe below:

Banana & Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Overnight Oats

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats (no steel cut or instant oatmeal packs will do!)
1/2 cup of almond milk
1/4 cup of vanilla greek yogurt
1 banana (half for the oatmeal base and half for the topping)
1 tbsp of Kalot Dark Chocolate w/ Coconut Almond Butter Spread (I found this at Fresh Market. If you don’t have this a tablespoon of Justin’s Vanilla Almond Butter or Chocolate Hazelnut Butter would also be great)
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/4 tsp of cinnamon
2-3 tablespoons of granola (optional)
Directions:

Combine all of your ingredients (minus the half of the banana and granola) and mix thoroughly until evenly combined.

If you’re not making this using a mason jar or some other lidded container, then cover what you put the overnight oats base in with some saran wrap so that the liquid doesn’t start to evaporate. Wrap up your other banana half in saran wrap and put it in the fridge as well.
