Electrolux #splits overnight oats – split style!
July 16, 2010 When I heard about the Banana Split Top 9 Takeover contest for Foodbuzz [an Edible Perspective sponsor], an idea instantly came to mind!
Submitting to this contest also donated $50 to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund [OCRF], which is when I knew I had to partake. Electrolux + Kelly Ripa teamed up with, the very generous Foodbuzz, to raise money for this awesome cause.
Foodbuzz asked all of their Featured Publishers to create the ultimate banana split and post it to our blog. Foodbuzz is donating $50 for each submittal along with a chance to be featured on “Today’s Top 9” on Monday, July 19th. Typically, the Today’s Top 9 photos, are the best food photos that have been submitted the day before from any of the featured publishers. However, on Monday, the banana splits are taking over! There will be 9 featured banana splits…and maybe mine will show up??
I’ve never actually been a big fan of the traditional banana split. Honestly, I’m not even sure if I’ve ever eaten one. I would rather just have a plain bowl of ice cream. However, dessert was not on the brain. Breakfast was. You all are aware that breakfast is my favorite. Obviously, I was going to make a Breakfast Banana Split [BBS]!!
I think I went a little bananas…hehehe
Component ONE:
Cherry Banana Soft Serve
- 1 large frozen banana
- ~8 pitted cherries [frozen or fresh]
- Combine in food processor for about 3min until creamy and soft serve like, in texture. You might need to scrape the bowl a few times. Frozen cherries will help keep the consistency a little thicker, but either work.
Component TWO:
The Banana
Aaaaaaand done. Easy!
Component THREE:
Vegan Overnight Oats
- 1/3c rolled oats
- 2/3c milk [any type will work]
- 1T chia seeds
- 1/2t cinnamon
optional mix-ins:
- 1t cocoa powder
- 1/2 scoop Chocolate Amazing Grass
- 1t maple syrup
- Stir everything together and seal in a container overnight in the fridge.
- Stir in the morning.
Component FOUR:
Toppings
Can’t forget the cherry on top!
All together now….

For me #2 and #6 feel the most like a "banana split" and not just oats topped on a split banana. Y'know what I mean? :)
#6 with the colored tablecloth. Have you thought about drizzling the maple syrup on the top instead of including it in the overnight mix. It might look more like the choc syrup on a banana split.
I like #2 and #6 as well. I can't wait to try and make this at home. It looks soooooooooo good!!
I like #2 and #7....great submission! Very creative...
I'm torn between 2 and 6, but I think #2.
Good luck!!
(umm, the comments didn't work first time - hoping I haven't spa,,ed you three timed!)
i actually really like #7 the best! healthy and gorgeous...who could ask for more in a banana split?!
I like 2, 3 and 6 - it looks like a face!! Loves it :)
#7 is my favorite! good luck!
I like 2 and 7!!
# 2 is my favorite, but 3 and 7 would be my next choices :) Sounds incredible!!
Guh. No.words. ;) But #2 is my pick!:)
I think #5 really focuses on the beauty of the food! The printed towel is extra cute, but I think it might be a little too busy for the shot...
good luck!
I think I like #2 or #6...not sure. They all look good! Hope you win.
The bananas look like ears and the cherry looks like a nose to me! ;)
#2 for sure, love the angle :D
looks sooooo goooood. yum!
Im between 5 and 7, I choose 5.
I like #2 and #6
I think I like #2 and #3. It looks very yummy!
i love them all and I want to eat my computer but I think if i had to choose ONE it would be #6
Hmmm, I think I'd have to say shot #2. I like the tablecloth background, but I prefer the photos without it because it detracts a little from the beautiful banana split and its colors!
I like #5 the best. Looks sooo yummy and filling!
have i told you lately that i love you? i'm not a huge banana split fan myself, so making it for breakfast instead is a genius idea!
also: i love #5
I like number two! I also love your take on the banana split. Awesome!
Very, very creative! I never would have thunk it!
Definitely #3 or #7.
Just kidding, I was looking at the numbers below your pictures, not above. I should have said #2 or #6.
#1 and #2 are so pretty, I want to cry!
I love it! Photo #2 is my favorite :)
I'm going to go with #2 and #5, as being the best photos. Looks delicious!
I like 2 and 6....6 being my fav! Good luck, it looks delicious!!!
I vote for #2. Good Luck!
It's so weird how everyone has different opinions. I like #2 and #5. Good luck!
Wow, that all looks deeelicious!
Great looking banana split. Very creative indeed!
Oh! That looks so good! Great creation!
I like #2 the best!
#6 but they are all beautiful pictures!! Looks SO good.
#3! Shows the food well and is a neat angle
6 hands down! It looks most professional!
5 & 6 get my vote....looks fantastic!
#2 is a beauty!
This post is utter genius.
I need to make and eat this, asap.
I like photo #2 best!
Maybe you need a blob of Greek Yogurt for your cherry sit on top of?... like whip cream.. isn't there usually some sort of whipped topping on a banana split?!
Looks delish either way!!
Love your bloggggg!!!
#2 and #6 are the prettiest!
My favorite one is the # 7 even if they're all very good! I like the idea of banana overnight oat!!
Love #2 and #6! Wow that makes me want to create your banana split tomorrow morning! Alas, we're out of bananas :-(
Fabulous idea!
i <3 you too!
Yummy!!! I like #2 because it's focused in on the cherry instead of the entire photo.
lol that is too funny...check out my post!
