Breakfast & Brunch Healthy Cereal Recipes Healthy Oatmeal Recipes Overnight Oatmeal Banana Cream Pie-Inspired Overnight Oats 4.7 (6) 6 Reviews Start your day with a breakfast that feels like a treat—these layered overnight oats offer a delightful blend of banana, cinnamon and a touch of vanilla to elevate the taste. Right before enjoying, a finishing touch of crumbled graham crackers adds a pie-like charm to this easy breakfast. For the best results, use ripe bananas: their skin should be brown in spots and they should feel a little soft when you squeeze them.

Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients.
