A comforting and indulgent creamy overnight oats recipe featuring caramelized brown butter bananas and honey-glazed walnuts for a perfect cozy morning breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (240ml) – dairy or plant-based
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (120g)
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (28g)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (30ml)
  • 1/2 cup walnuts (50g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (1g)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine oats, milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed, about 2 minutes.
  2. Divide the oat mixture evenly into 2 mason jars or airtight containers. Seal and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  3. Melt unsalted butter in a small skillet over medium heat until golden brown and nutty aroma appears, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat immediately.
  4. Add sliced bananas to the browned butter and sauté gently for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant but not mushy.
  5. Toast walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat and drizzle honey over warm walnuts, tossing to coat. Set aside to cool.
  6. Spoon caramelized bananas over chilled overnight oats. Top with honey-coated walnuts and drizzle additional honey if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use unsalted butter for better control of saltiness. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use plant-based milk and yogurt. Toast walnuts just before use for best flavor and crunch. Keep toppings separate if preparing ahead to maintain texture. Stir in a splash of milk if oats are too thick after soaking.
