Notes
To make it vegan, you can use coconut, soy, or almond milk instead of regular milk. Opt for vegan yogurts like coconut or soy yogurt. Instead of honey, use maple syrup.
You can serve overnight banana bread oats as they are or topped with freshly chopped fruits such as bananas, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, dragon fruit, papaya, kiwi, or any other fruit that you prefer.
You can also sprinkle some toasted chopped nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, raisins, pistachios, or pecans, or seeds, such as pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds, etc., on top.
Nut butter like peanut butter, almond butter, or pistachio butter also makes a great topping.
Want to add some more crunch? Top it with granola, chocolate chips, or coconut flakes.
You can also sprinkle a little cocoa powder, instant coffee powder, or ground cinnamon on top for an added flavor.
