Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsweetened soy milk
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
Seeds and Spices:
- 1 1/2 tablespoons (22.5 ml) chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Caramel Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) almond butter
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Transform a ripe banana into a silky smooth puree by mashing it thoroughly in a mixing bowl, releasing its natural sweetness.
- Incorporate rolled oats, soy milk, chia seeds, and cinnamon into the mashed banana, stirring until a uniform mixture forms. Transfer to a jar and allow chia seeds to hydrate and thicken.
- Craft a luxurious caramel sauce by whisking almond butter, maple syrup, olive oil, salt, and vanilla extract until perfectly blended. Adjust consistency with a minimal amount of soy milk if needed.
- After the oat base has slightly thickened, create a creamy layer by spreading Greek yogurt across the surface, providing a tangy counterpoint to the sweet base.
- Generously drizzle the prepared caramel sauce over the yogurt, ensuring an even distribution of rich flavor.
- Garnish the creation with remaining banana slices, strategically positioned for visual appeal and additional texture. Optional embellishments include crushed nuts, cacao nibs, or a delicate cinnamon dusting.
- Refrigerate the assembled dish for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing flavors to meld and texture to develop. Aim for a cool temperature around 40°F.
- When ready to indulge, either gently fold the layers together or savor the distinct stratification, transforming breakfast into a decadent morning experience.
Notes
- Swap bananas for dietary needs by using applesauce or mashed pumpkin to maintain moisture and natural sweetness.
- Create a quick dairy-free version by replacing Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or silken tofu for creamy texture.
- Enhance protein content by adding a scoop of plant-based protein powder directly into the oat mixture for extra nutrition.
- Prep multiple jars in advance for a week’s worth of quick, grab-and-go breakfasts that stay fresh and delicious in the refrigerator.
