Ladies (and gentlemen), let me tell you about my absolute favorite breakfast work snack that has my colleagues literally begging for the recipe! Trust me, this Maple-Pecan Banana Bread Overnight Oats is about to become your new morning obsession.
Y’all, as someone who can barely function before 9 AM (don’t judge!), I needed something that I could prep the night before and grab on my way out the door. This recipe is literally a game-changer – it’s like having dessert for breakfast, but it’s actually healthy! Can I get an amen? 🙌
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats (not the instant kind, honey!)
– 1/2 cup almond milk (or whatever milk floats your boat)
– 1/4 mashed ripe banana (the spottier, the better!)
– 1 tablespoon maple syrup
– 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
– 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of cinnamon
– Tiny pinch of salt (trust me on this one)
Now, let me walk you through this super easy process (seriously, if I can do it half-asleep, you’ve got this!):
1. In a cute mason jar or container (because we’re fancy like that), combine your oats and milk.
2. Mash that banana like it owes you money and add it to the mix.
3. Pour in your maple syrup and vanilla extract.
4. Sprinkle in the cinnamon and salt.
5. Give everything a good stir (or shake if you’re feeling spicy).
6. Top with those gorgeous pecans.
7. Pop it in the fridge overnight, and voilà!

In the morning, you can eat it cold (my preferred way) or warm it up for 30 seconds if you’re feeling fancy. Sometimes I add a drizzle of extra maple syrup on top because… well, why not? Life’s too short to skimp on maple syrup!
The best part? This keeps me full until lunch, and I’m not reaching for those questionable vending machine snacks at 10 AM anymore. Plus, it’s totally customizable – swap the pecans for walnuts, add some chia seeds, throw in some chocolate chips (I won’t tell anyone!).
