Dessert for breakfast? These Banana Coconut Cream Pie Overnight Oats are a super delicious weekday breakfast. They can be prepared in advance, so all you need to grab is the jar and a spoon on your way out the door. They’re made with gluten-free oats, coconut and almond milk, and topped with banana coins and shredded coconut!
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
This one goes out to my beautiful mama.
My mom’s favorite dessert in the world is banana cream pie. Regardless of the time of year or occasion, if given the choice – she will always reach for or request this delicious dessert.
When I think of bananas, like most – I think of breakfast. Even on the busiest mornings, it’s easy to grab one on your way out the door. Oh, you have more time in the morning than I do? Great – top your french toast or pancakes with em’, blend them in to your favorite smoothie, slice and put on your cereal, or some PB toast. Whatever your morning style is, the banana hails supreme as the easiest breakfast fruit.
And then I had an epiphany.
I love bananas.
I love coconut.
I love pie.
I love overnight oats.
HOLY BANANAS. Or, holy Banana-Coconut-Cream-Pie-Overnight-Oats, should I say. These oats are UNREAL! And so easy. Pulling the ingredients together literally takes less than 3 minutes.
Come morning time, you just add some banana, and top with MORE banana and coconut. NOM!
I used a mixture of canned coconut milk, as well as a coconut and almond milk blend – which my mom is obsessed with. Most grocery stores have this near the other almond milks – but use your favorite 🙂
You should make these today for your mom! Or a mom you know. Or someone who isn’t a mom, but you think would like these. Or for yourself. Whoever they’re for – they’ll be sure to impress!
Go celebrate the mothers in your life! Today is THEIR day – and do they ever deserve it.
Lots of love to all the mamas in my life!
