A creamy, filling, and fuss-free overnight oats recipe combining peanut butter and banana for a nutritious and delicious breakfast that’s quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
  • 1 medium ripe banana, sliced
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk, dairy or plant-based (almond, oat, or soy milk)
  • ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a mason jar or airtight container, add ½ cup (45g) rolled oats, 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds if using, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Pour in ½ cup (120ml) milk and ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt if using. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons (30g) peanut butter and swirl it through the oat mixture with a spoon or small whisk until mostly blended but with some visible streaks.
  4. If desired, stir in 1 teaspoon (5ml) honey or maple syrup and ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract.
  5. Slice 1 medium ripe banana and layer on top of the mixture.
  6. Seal the container tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 8 hours.
  7. In the morning, stir the oats well before eating. Add extra milk if a looser consistency is preferred.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; instant oats become mushy. Adjust milk quantity for desired creaminess. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and softness. Refrigerate at least 8 hours for best results. Optional toppings include chopped peanuts, dark chocolate chips, cinnamon, or granola. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use plant-based milk. Nut-free option: replace peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
