A quick and easy overnight oats recipe combining creamy peanut butter and ripe banana for a wholesome, delicious breakfast that’s ready when you are.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (45g)
  • 3/4 cup milk of choice (180ml) – dairy or plant-based (almond, oat, soy)
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 1 medium ripe banana, sliced
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (60g) – optional
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract – optional
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds – optional

Instructions

  1. Combine the oats and chia seeds (if using) in a jar or bowl and stir gently.
  2. Add the milk and Greek yogurt, then stir to combine.
  3. Stir in the peanut butter thoroughly to break it up and distribute evenly.
  4. Mix in the maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
  5. Peel and slice the banana, reserving a few slices for topping if desired.
  6. Fold most of the banana slices into the oat mixture gently.
  7. Cover the container tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  8. In the morning, stir the oats well, add a splash of milk if needed, and top with reserved banana slices or a drizzle of peanut butter.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; instant oats get mushy. Stir peanut butter thoroughly to avoid clumps. Adjust thickness by adding milk in the morning. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Can be warmed in microwave for 45 seconds if preferred warm. Store in fridge up to 3 days. Optional toppings include nuts, toasted coconut flakes, granola, or chocolate chips.
