A creamy, comforting, and satisfying overnight oats recipe combining peanut butter and ripe banana for a quick and easy breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (240ml) – dairy or plant-based (almond, oat, soy), unsweetened preferred
  • 2 tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt (optional, 60g) – can substitute with dairy-free yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mash one ripe banana in a mixing bowl with a fork until mostly smooth with a few small lumps remain (about 2 minutes).
  2. Stir in 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter until well combined (1-2 minutes).
  3. Add 1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup milk, ¼ cup Greek yogurt (if using), ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir in 1 tablespoon chia seeds if desired (2-3 minutes).
  4. Add 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey if additional sweetness is desired and stir well (30 seconds).
  5. Transfer the mixture into a mason jar or airtight container and seal tightly (1 minute).
  6. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats and chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken.
  7. In the morning, stir the oats well. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Top with sliced bananas, a drizzle of peanut butter, or chopped nuts if desired (1-2 minutes).

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; quick oats may become mushy. Stir peanut butter in before soaking to avoid clumps. Use ripe but not overly mushy bananas for natural sweetness. Add more milk if oats are too thick after soaking. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge up to 3 days. Variations include adding cocoa powder, berries, nuts, or spices.
