Overnight Oats Banana Split

Breakfast that looks like dessert is always more fun to eat! This Overnight Oats Banana Split is nearly as delicious as a real banana split. It’s also a fun way to enjoy breakfast – especially for kids! This post is sponsored by The Quaker Oats Company. All opinions are my own.

Breakfast that looks like dessert is always more fun to eat! It is nearly as delicious as a real banana split.

Overnight Oats Banana Split

Start with basic overnight oats – equal parts milk, Greek yogurt and Quaker Old Fashioned Oats plus a pinch of salt and a little cinnamon if you wish. I used 1/3 a cup of each.

Allow to sit in the fridge overnight so the oats can thicken and absorb the liquid

In the morning, split a ripe banana and make your “chocolate sauce” with some chocolately sunflower or peanut butter (see recipe below). Or you can just use regular peanut butter!

Start with a tablespoon and add milk and little at a time until it’s smooth and drizzly.

Then start your assembly! I used Quaker Real Medleys Dark Chocolate Cranberry with Almond Granola for my “sprinkles.” It’s on the crunchy side of the granola spectrum, so it made the perfect sundae topping.

    This looks so good! And you’re right, it’s always more fun to eat a breakfast that looks like a dessert. I think this would serve as a great, healthy dessert as well, though. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

    Wow, what a fun and healthy way to eat breakfast! I do think, though, that you might consider clarifying and editing this part in your post: “Start with basic overnight oats – equal parts milk, Greek yogurt and Quaker Old Fashioned Oats plus a pinch of salt and a little cinnamon if you wish. I used 1/3 a cup of each.” This wording makes it sound like you added 1/3 cup each of salt and cinnamon. The cherries on top are super cute!

    What is the sugar content in grams?

      25g – most of that is milk, yogurt, banana and cherries, all real food.

        Wow! Yum! I have such a silly question, does your body tell the difference between real food sugar and other kinds of sugar? Is it healthier, I sure hope so! ;- )

          Once it’s broken down in your blood, glucose is glucose. However, the differences come with how many extra nutrients tag along plus how quickly it goes into your blood stream and therefore how high your insulin spikes.

    Your having this as a breakfast meal? It’s like having dessert for breakfast and how many of us would love that. This recipe is packed with energy to get your through the day. Simple and complex carbs. Can you use anything for the topping? I love granola but just to switch it up

    I finally made overnight oats for the first time last week and I absolutely love love love them!!! I just have to remember to make them the night before!! A few mornings I’ve been all excited for breakfast and then realized I forgot to make it the previous night. Once I’m in the habit it will be great. I usually eat my breakfast at work so this is a very convenient yummy portable breakfast. Thumbs up to Quaker and overnight oats!!!

    Love this! I just made some Quaker Old Fashioned Oats this morning & they are probably one of my favborite foods. Oatmeal is very comforting and I feel powered for the day. Can’t wait to try this banana split 😉

    I need to try overnight oats soon. I am nursing and eat oatmeal every morning to keep my supply going. With the summer striking hard in Texas, eating oats is going to be easier this way.
