Chef's Note

Overnight oats are a lifesaver for busy mornings! For the toddler, making sure the pecans are practically powdered or completely omitted is key to keeping this dish safe and easy to swallow. You can add a splash of warm milk right before serving if they prefer a less dense texture-heavy breakfast.

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups raw old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 2 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt

  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk

  • 3 medium raw bananas

  • 4 tbsp raw chia seeds

  • 1 1/2 tbsp pure maple syrup

  • 1 1/2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder

  • 2 tbsp raw ground flaxseed meal

  • 1/3 cup raw pecan halves

  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
  • 1

    Peel 3 medium raw bananas. In a large mixing bowl, use a fork to thoroughly mash them until mostly smooth with minimal lumps.

  • 2

    To the mashed bananas, add 2 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt, 1 1/2 cups whole milk, 1 1/2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, and 1 1/2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder. Whisk vigorously until the protein powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is creamy.

  • 3

    Stir in 1 3/4 cups raw old-fashioned rolled oats, 4 tablespoons raw chia seeds, 2 tablespoons raw ground flaxseed meal, and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are completely submerged and evenly distributed.

  • 4

    For the 10-year-old's school lunch packing, portion 1 serving of the oat mixture into a travel-safe, airtight container.

  • 5

    For the 2-year-old toddler, portion 1 serving into a small kid-friendly bowl. Ensure the banana in this portion is completely mashed and smooth to prevent any choking hazard.

  • 6

    Finely chop 1/3 cup raw pecan halves. For the toddler's safety, mince their portion of pecans into a fine powder, or omit entirely. Keep the pecans separate in a small container until ready to serve.

  • 7

    Cover all portions tightly and place them in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours (480 minutes) to allow the oats and chia seeds to fully hydrate and soften.

  • 8

    Before serving, stir the oats gently to loosen the texture. Top each serving with the designated raw chopped pecans for a delicious crunch.
