About

Banana cream pie for breakfast is an amazing concept, but let's be honest — it isn't the most nourishing way to wake up. But that's not the case with these Banana Cream Pie Oats! These hearty, sweet, and nutrient-packed oats are soaked in creamy banana, tangy cottage cheese, and floral vanilla and then topped with protein-packed chia seeds. Topped with pretty much anything you can think of, Banana Cream Pie Oats are the morning dessert you can eat with no guilt!

  • bananas, to taste, sliced
  • walnuts, to taste, toasted
