A quick and easy healthy breakfast recipe featuring creamy overnight oats blended with peanut butter and ripe banana for a comforting and nutritious start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based such as almond, oat, or cashew milk)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla (or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) peanut butter, creamy or chunky
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed or blended
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Peel 1 ripe banana and mash it with a fork until smooth, or blend briefly for a creamy consistency (about 2 minutes).
  2. In a mixing bowl or jar, combine the mashed banana, 1/2 cup (120ml) milk, 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons (32g) peanut butter, 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (if using), 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk or stir until well combined and smooth (3 minutes).
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional). Ensure oats are fully coated with the wet mixture (1 minute).
  4. Transfer the mixture to a mason jar or airtight container if mixed in a bowl. Seal tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  5. In the morning, stir the oats to loosen the texture if needed. Add extra milk for a thinner consistency. Top with sliced bananas, a drizzle of peanut butter, or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired (2 minutes).

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant oats as they get mushy. Warm peanut butter slightly if separated for easier mixing. Adjust sweetness by tasting before adding honey or maple syrup. Chia seeds help thicken but use sparingly to avoid gelatinous texture. Prep at least 6 hours ahead for best results. Store leftovers in airtight container up to 3 days. Stir and add milk before eating if thickened. Can be served cold or warmed briefly in microwave.
