A quick and easy overnight oats recipe combining peanut butter and banana for a creamy, protein-packed breakfast that’s perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (45g)
  • ¾ cup milk of choice (180ml) – dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana in a mixing bowl or jar using a fork until smooth but still a bit chunky (about 1-2 minutes).
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter and stir until well combined with the mashed banana. If peanut butter is stiff, microwave for 10 seconds to soften.
  3. Mix in ½ cup rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds, stirring to coat the dry ingredients with the banana and peanut butter mixture.
  4. Pour in ¾ cup milk, 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until evenly combined.
  5. Check consistency; add more milk if too thick or more oats/chia seeds if too thin.
  6. Seal the jar or bowl tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  7. In the morning, stir the oats well and serve chilled or at room temperature. Optionally top with fresh banana slices, a drizzle of peanut butter, or nuts.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant oats to prevent mushiness. Soften peanut butter if stiff. Chia seeds are optional but help thicken and add fiber. Adjust sweetness after chilling if needed. Store in sealed container up to 3 days. Can be served cold or warmed briefly in microwave.
