Kefir Overnight Oats are the perfect subtly sweet make-ahead breakfast for busy week day mornings! Made with nutritious ingredients like whole grain oats, chia and hemp seeds, and bananas this is a great healthy breakfast.
How has the week been treating you?Β How about the school year?Β I’m in a bit of disbelief that in a couple of short weeks OCTOBER will be here.
Despite the mums at the local garden shops and adorable white and orange pumpkins literally everywhere, it is still in the 90s and very humid here in Indiana – so cold, creamy breakfasts like these Kefir Overnight Oats are absolutely hitting the spot.
I often make a couple of batches of Kefir Overnight Oats at the start of the week, so that when I have early mornings or when time slips away from me I know that I have something satisfying to eat that literally takes ZERO time to prep because all the work was done in advance!
I shared my love for overnight oatsΒ on InstagramΒ Β not too long ago, and then I posted about it in my stories and several of you were asking for the recipe.Β While I did share it in my original IG post, I thought it may be easier to find and bookmark for later use here π
Side note about kefir…have you heard of it?!
Kefir is a fermented dairy drink that is has a similar flavor to unflavored yogurt.Β It’s made with a “starter” kind of like sourdough bread and it contains bacteria that may be beneficial to the gut/digestive system (probiotics).Β Because of the fermentation process used to create this drink, it contains only a small amount of lactose and many people who are lactose-intolerant can actually tolerate kefir.Β Green Valley Creamery makes a 100% lactose free version that I really love π

Ingredients
Scale
2/3 banana, smashed (I place the remaining 1/3 of the banana in a container and store it in the freezer for smoothies)
Bananas have great variation in size from about 5 inches to 8 or 10 for regular bananas in my grocery store. I presume the amount to use depends on taste. this sounds like a great addition to my overnight oats.

Whatever banana you have on hand usually works π
