Banoffee overnight oats is a delicious and health option for breakfast. The inspiration for this recipe comes from a famous British dessert called Banoffe pie.
It is one of my favourite desserts. It is made from bananas, pastry base or crumbled biscuits, butter, cream and a thick caramel sauce.
As I am in love with Banoffe pie, I thought of making the recipe a little lighter so I can eat it more often. I took the base of Banoffe pie, and added some lighter and super nutritious ingredients.
So, I can have a health breakfast and delicious early workout in the morning. This mixture is nothing but the Banoffe Overnight oats.
I am always looking for recipes to make the daily routine easier. I usually make large preparations and divide them into mini servings that will yield throughout the week.
Instead of baked cooking, Banoffe overnight oats is th kind of recipe, besides being super nutritious it yields a lot and can be a delicious vegan alternative.

Why overnight oats are good for you?
Oats are a super nutritious cereal. Oatmeal has fibre, calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, vitamins, carbohydrate and protein.
You can find oats in the form of bran, flakes, or flour. This food is associated with weight loss by helping satiety.
Regular consumption of oats can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and improve bowel function. Many health benefits to the organism occur therefore, as the improved gut microbial reduces the inflammatory profile and increases immunity.
Basic overnights oats prepared with other healthy foods have their benefits enhanced. In the case of Banoffe overnights oats I use besides the banana that is rich in potassium, the chia seeds that has an excellent amount of omega 3 and antioxidants that combat skin aging.
How to prepare banana and Toffee overnight oats?
The preparation of Banoffe overnight oats is very simple. I make 5 servings to eat during the week and store it in small glass pots, you can easily find them on amazon.
All ingredients can be substituted according to your taste, but it is important that the oats are the base. The banana for example you can replace with berries and you will have the berry overnight oats.
I use plant-based milk, but you can use normal milk or even yogurt. You can add peanut butter or honey according to your preference.
To make the recipe even more protein rich, I like to add some vegan protein powder.
You can use whey protein or any other protein according to your preference. This is not an essential ingredient, you can skip it if you prefer.
You will spend less than 10 minutes on the whole preparation. Ideally, Banoffe overnight Oats should be refrigerated for at least 6 hours for the oats be mixed with the other ingredients to form a cream.
The ideal is to make it at night and eat it the next day. Nothing better than going to bed knowing that breakfast is already ready!
