    Oats are my favorite breakfast food. I eat them nearly every single day. Whether it's a warm ramekin of Vegan Cookie Dough Baked Oats, or a jar of Biscoff Overnight Oats, or even Matcha Overnight Oats, I love them all!

    They are hearty, filling and they are a blank canvas for any flavor. And, I love that I can eat them hot or cold depending on my mood (and the weather).

    And these Banana Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats are my current favorite! They are delicious, healthy and so simple to make.

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    • This recipe only requires 6 simple ingredients.
    • And you only need 5 minutes to prep them.
    • This recipe Banana Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free and completely vegan, so anyone can enjoy it!
    • Since these oats are prepared at night, breakfast is done in seconds in the morning!
    • And most importantly, they are absolutely delicious!

    Ingredient Notes

    Ingredients needed to make this recipe on a marble surface.

    Rolled Oats: I recommend old-fashioned rolled oats for all of my overnight oats recipe like this one and my Mango Overnight Oats! You can use quick oats, but don't use steel cut oats or instant oats!

    Banana: Use a ripe banana for these overnight oats. Not overripe like you'd use for cinnamon swirl banana bread.

    Mini Chocolate Chips: Chocolate chips aren't just for Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies! You can have them for breakfast, too. My favorite vegan mini chocolate chips are these from Enjoy Life.

    Chia Seeds: I love chia seeds, but if you don't you can substitute ground flax!

    Non-Dairy Milk: My favorite is oat milk, but you could also use almond milk or soy milk!

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Mashed banana in a jar.

    Step 1. First, in a jar or other container with a tight-fitting lid, mash the banana.

    Step 3. Place the lid onto the container and shake it up really well. Then, place it into the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

    Step 4. In the morning, stir the overnight oats, then top with sliced banana, chocolate chips or a scoop of peanut butter or homemade cashew butter.

    Recipe FAQs

    Does banana go brown in overnight oats?

    The banana will oxidize slightly and turn a tan color overnight. But, that doesn't change the flavor!

    What are the best overnight oat toppings?

    I love to add sliced banana, berries, peanut butter or other nut butter and even chocolate chips!

    What kind of milk is best for overnight oats?

    You should use whatever milk you like best! I love oat milk so that is what I use. But, if you prefer almond milk, soy milk or coconut milk, use one of those instead.

    Expert Recipe Tips

    I don't recommend meal prepping this Banana Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats recipe more than one at a time. The banana will only slightly oxidize over one night, but it will continue to oxidize the longer it sits!
