A velvety, thick, and creamy no-cook banana pudding overnight oats recipe topped with crunchy Nilla wafer crumble, perfect for a quick and indulgent breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice (whole, almond, oat, etc.)
  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ cup (about 15 wafers) Nilla wafers, crushed
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mash 2 medium ripe bananas in a medium bowl with a fork until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky (about 2 minutes).
  2. Add 1 cup (240ml) milk, ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if using. Whisk gently until well mixed (about 3 minutes).
  3. Stir in 1 cup (90g) rolled oats, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional), and 1 tablespoon chia seeds if using. Mix to combine (about 2 minutes).
  4. Spoon the mixture into a mason jar or airtight container. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  5. Crush about ½ cup (15 wafers) Nilla wafers into small pieces, leaving some chunks for texture (about 2 minutes).
  6. When ready to eat, stir the oats well and top generously with the Nilla wafer crumble. Optionally garnish with banana slices or a sprinkle of cinnamon (about 1 minute).
  7. If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk to loosen; if too runny, add more oats next time.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; ripe bananas add natural sweetness and thickness. Keep Nilla wafer crumble separate until serving to maintain crunch. Can be made dairy-free by using plant-based milk and yogurt and vegan cookies. Prepare the night before for best results. Stir before serving to redistribute moisture.
