A quick and easy overnight oats recipe combining creamy peanut butter and ripe bananas for a comforting, nutritious breakfast perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90 grams) rolled oats (old-fashioned recommended)
  • 1/4 cup (64 grams) creamy peanut butter (natural preferred)
  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based, unsweetened almond milk recommended)
  • 1/2 cup (120 grams) Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon (12 grams) chia seeds (optional but recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon (21 grams) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana in a mixing bowl with a fork until smooth with a few small lumps remain (1-2 minutes).
  2. Add peanut butter, milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup (if using). Stir until combined and creamy (2-3 minutes).
  3. Stir in rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt until evenly distributed.
  4. Spoon the mixture evenly into 4 to 6 airtight jars or containers, leaving space at the top.
  5. Seal the jars and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats and chia seeds to soak and thicken.
  6. In the morning, stir each jar before serving. Add toppings like sliced bananas, a drizzle of peanut butter, nuts, or cinnamon if desired. Serve chilled or let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes for a softer texture.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. Warm peanut butter slightly if thick or refrigerated to avoid clumps. Chia seeds are recommended for thickness and nutrition but optional. Adjust sweetness after mixing as bananas vary in sweetness. Store prepared jars in the fridge up to 5 days. For warm oats, heat in microwave or pot before serving.
