Overnight oatmeal has been my "thing" for a few months now, which inevitably resulted in me creating recipes that were never shared with you. Most of them align with my stove-top recipes, so I didn't feel too guilty about it. However, lately, I've been enjoying these so much that I just had to put them on your radar!

I find that hidden banana oatmeal works excellent on the stovetop or in the microwave because the banana is able to melt and get equally distributed throughout. But I have been having a lot of trouble creating the same consistency in my overnight oats. The banana seems to stay in chunks and doesn't evenly distribute the sweetness. Tips?
ReplyDeleteI actually have this issue, too, but I think I've gotten so used to it that it doesn't bother me anymore. You could try putting all the wet ingredients (or basically everything except the oats or anything else you want to stay "whole") in a small blender so it will be almost pureed. That way the bananas are distributed throughout the mixture before the oats even come into the picture. Let me know if you have any success!
Deletei now make my overnight oats in mason jars specifically so that i can give it a good shake a couple of times between when i mix it up and when i eat it up. this eliminated any mixing problems i've had.
Deletejust my $0.02 worth.
Each one looks better than the next! I want to try them all!
ReplyDelete'Tis the season for overnight oats! Can't wait to try these :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! Thanks!
DeleteHave you ever made a variation of salted caramel pretzel overnight oatmeal? I think that'd be yummmmmmmy.
ReplyDeleteThat would be delicious, but I'd have to make my own caramel with vegan ingredients to be satisfied with it, and that would take a lot of work. :P
DeleteIf you didn't want to use a banana, what would you substitute it with?
ReplyDelete2-3 chopped dates OR 1 tbsp of liquid sweetener (maple syrup, agave, honey, etc.) :)
DeleteWould it make much difference if i omitted chia seed?
ReplyDeleteNah, I skip the chia seed all the time. But it's much better with it. :)
DeleteMust be as yummy as looking :)
ReplyDeleteWhat could you substitute the molasses with?
ReplyDeleteBrown sugar, maple syrup, or just omit it. :)
DeleteThis morning I had Mocha Overnight Oatmeal warmed up and topped with mashed banana and dark chocolate chips. It. Was. Phenomenal.
