Banana Pudding Overnight Oats

These protein overnight oats capture the flavor of one of my favorite classic Southern desserts with layers of creamy oats, custard-like filling, and sliced bananas.

Equipment

2 Mason jars or pint size bowls with lids

Ingredients

For the oats:
⅔ cup old-fashioned rolled oats for gluten-free, make sure to use certified gluten-free oats
2 tsp ground golden flaxseed
pinch of salt
1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
30 g vanilla whey protein *see notes for recommendations
2 tsp real maple syrup
1 small ripe banana sliced
For the topping:
1 tsp real maple syrup
2 tbsp whipped cream cheese
3 tbsp vanilla Greek yogurt I used Oikos Pro vanilla
½ cup Truwhip Skinny whipped topping

Instructions

In a glass jar or bowl, stir together the oats, flaxseed, and salt.
In a shaker bottle, combine 1 cup of almond milk, vanilla protein powder, and maple syrup. Shake well to mix and pour over the oat mixture and stir well to mix. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
In a small bowl, stir the yogurt, maple syrup, and whipped cream cheese together until blended, then stir in the whipped topping until combined and no lumps remain. Stir the oats and divide them between two small serving dishes or bowls.
Top the overnight oats with a few slices of banana. Smooth the whipped topping mixture over the top and top and add the remaining sliced banana. Enjoy immediately. You can add a little extra whipping topping on top if desired.

Notes

For an added protein boost: Add an extra layer of vanilla Greek yogurt to boost the protein to 30 grams or use all yogurt instead of the whipped topping yogurt blend.

For extra creamy overnight oats: Use canned coconut milk or whole milk instead of unsweetened almond milk for a rich and creamy version.

Optional toppings: Toasted shredded coconut, coconut flakes, cinnamon, and nutmeg are all delicious garnishes for these oats.
