Banoffee Breakfast Overnight Oats (Vegan High-Protein)
These Banoffee Breakfast Overnight Oats taste like dessert for breakfast with a high-protein chia seed and oat base topped with a healthy date caramel, banana slices, coconut yoghurt and cacao powder.
I love making overnight oats, and if you are looking for a new flavour combination to try then this banana and toffee/date combination is for you. It’s a great one to jazz up the new year and get your day off to the best start. It’s full of fibre and protein, while being a source of vitamins, minerals and healthy fats and takes 5 minutes to prep the night before. It’s great for meal prep as they pots will last a few days in the fridge, making breakfast simple and so delicious.

What ingredients do I need?
You can see the ingredients with weights in the recipe card below and see my favourite and recommended brands in the “shop the recipe” section.
For the oats:
- Oats: make sure they are GF where needed.
- Chia seeds: these help thicken the oats as well as adding so much goodness.
- Banoffee protein powder: the Form protein powder (my code NourishingAmy10 saves you 10%) is amazing and has a delicious banoffee flavour and is made with natural plant-based ingredients. You can also try this with vanilla protein.
- Thick coconut yoghurt: I use the Cocos Organic yoghurt, which is so thick and creamy, high in gut healthy bacteria and made with natural ingredients.
- Plant-based milk: any dairy-free milk is great like oat, almond, soya (high in protein) or coconut (from a carton).
To make the caramel:
- Medjool dates: these make the sweetest and jammiest caramel. We soak the dates first, so don’t worry if your dates are a bit dry.
- Almond or cashew butter: make sure it’s smooth and runny, or use tahini or sunflower seed butter to make it nut-free.
- Salt: to make a salted date caramel.
And to serve, layer up fresh banana slices, some extra coconut yoghurt and a dusting of cacao powder on top.
Are these gluten-free and nut-free?
These are naturally gluten-free, as long as your oats are gluten-free certified. To make the oats nut-free, swap the almond butter for sunflower seed butter or tahini in the caramel.
How do I make them?
These are easy to make in a few steps:
- Combine the ingredients for the oats: until creamy and place in the fridge overnight.
- Soak the dates in boiling water: if needed, to make them softer.
- Blend up the date caramel ingredients: until smooth.
- Layer up the oats with banana slices, some date caramel and coconut yoghurt: finishing off with some cacao powder.
How long will they last?
Cover the jars and keep them in the fridge for 2-3 days.
