Banana Bread Overnight Oats
Ripe bananas add natural sweetness to these healthy overnight oats. If you keep ripe bananas in your freezer, this recipe is a great way to use them—but skip using a previously frozen banana for the slices in the oat mixture, as the texture isn’t ideal. Feel free to swap the walnuts out for another nut, if you prefer.

07of 21Banana-Oatmeal MuffinsPhotographer: Jennifer Causey, Food Stylist: Julian Hensarling, Prop Stylist: Christina DaleyThese oatmeal-banana muffins strike the perfect balance of spice and sweetness. The oats soften while baking, making these muffins moist, tender and filling enough for breakfast. The riper the bananas, the sweeter the muffins will be. Browned bananas yield the strongest flavor, but yellow with some spots works just as well. If you don’t want to make muffins, bake the batter in a loaf pan until a wooden pick in the center comes out clean.View Recipe
