Chocolate Banana Overnight Oat and Yogurt Parfaits

Chocolate Banana Overnight Oat and Yogurt Parfaits

These chocolate banana overnight oat and yogurt parfaits are the perfect healthy and nutritious breakfast. In under 10 minutes, you can prep breakfast for the week. These parfaits feature oats layered with milk and flavorings, protein-packed yogurt, notes of cocoa, and topped with sliced banana. As the parfait sits in the fridge, the flavors combine; the oats soak up the milk and other liquids and “cook” without cooking. When all mixed together including the peanut butter topping, these ingredients form the most delicious and satisfying breakfast. You can make different varieties of these oats depending on what you have on hand, too. If you are looking for a no-fuss breakfast prep with no heating required, this is it.
