Make Creamy Banana Pie Overnight Oats for 2! It’s a yummy breakfast treat with bananas, yogurt, almonds, oats, graham crumbs and cinnamon!
I love making overnight oats and have been making many different flavors for years now. I especially enjoy making them in the Summer, because when it’s really HOT outside I don’t like to heat up the kitchen making traditional breakfasts.
Overnight oats are a wonderful solution because they only take a few minutes prep the night BEFORE you’re going to eat them. In the morning you’ll wake up to find jars full of cold, creamy, delicious oats ready to enjoy for breakfast!
The recipe I’m sharing today is one I found online a few months ago, have made several times, and really enjoy! Here’s how to make Creamy Banana Pie Overnight Oats.

What Ingredients Will I Need?
You will need old-fashioned oats, milk, vanilla yogurt, 2 ripe bananas (one in oats, one for garnish), maple syrup (or honey), vanilla, and cinnamon. Before serving, you’ll garnish each jar of oats with graham cracker crumbs, banana slices and sliced almonds (or walnuts).
Combine oats, milk, vanilla yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla, ground cinnamon and 1 ripe, mashed banana in a medium bowl. Stir them well, because you want them to be fully combined.
Place Oats In Jars And Refrigerate Overnight
Divide the oats mixture evenly into two half-pint or pint-sized jars (16 oz.). I have used both sizes of jars for this recipe but now use half-pint jars (8 oz.), so they fill to the top (for presentation).
You can use other containers for this, but make sure that the containers you use are at least 8 ounces (1 cup) and have lids. The photo shown below is a PINT jar (16 oz.) and you can certainly see the oats do not reach the top of the jar.
Cover the jars tightly and place them in the refrigerator OVERNIGHT. This is really important, because while the jars of oats chill overnight, the oats will soften and absorb most of the liquid in the jar.
The photo shown below shows a half-pint jar (8 oz.) and it’s filled almost all the way to the top with the overnight oats. This is the size jar I use almost 100% of the time now.
Garnish The Creamy Banana Pie Overnight Oats
Remove the jars from the refrigerator in the morning after the oats have chilled overnight (at least 8 hours). Stir the oats well and add the additional garnishes before serving because the added toppings add even more flavor!
Top each jar of creamy banana pie overnight oats with banana slices, crushed graham cracker crumbs, and almond slices (or chopped walnuts). Sprinkle with a few poppyseeds on top (optional), for extra fun!
Serve And Enjoy!
Serve the creamy banana pie overnight oats cold, dig in and enjoy this delicious and especially filling breakfast treat! It not only LOOKS good, but it also TASTES great!
The oats are thick and creamy, banana-flavored, and the crunchy almonds, banana slices and graham cracker crumbles remind me of eating banana cream pie! It’s delicious!
I hope you have the opportunity to make this yummy breakfast treat for yourself and those you love. The recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to meet your needs, and I’m confident you’ll enjoy it (especially on really HOT summer days- wink, wink).
