A quick and easy overnight oats recipe combining peanut butter and banana for a creamy, nutritious breakfast that’s perfect for meal prep and busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats (old-fashioned recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (natural, no added sugar preferred)
  • 1 large ripe banana (half mashed, half sliced for topping)
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (dairy or plant-based, unsweetened preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mash half the banana in a mixing bowl with a fork until smooth but still a bit chunky (about 2 minutes).
  2. Stir in 1 cup (90g) rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds until evenly combined.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter and mix until well blended and creamy. Warm peanut butter slightly if too stiff. Add a splash of milk if mixture feels dry.
  4. Pour in 1 cup (240ml) milk, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if using. Mix thoroughly until wet but not soupy.
  5. Spoon mixture evenly into mason jars or airtight containers and seal with lids.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
  7. Before serving, top with the remaining sliced banana. Optionally, add a drizzle of peanut butter or sprinkle chopped nuts for crunch.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; instant oats get mushy. Adjust milk quantity for desired thickness. Drain excess oil from peanut butter if oily. Store in fridge up to 4 days. For thicker oats, add extra chia seeds; for thinner, add milk before serving. Variations include adding cocoa powder, protein powder, or swapping nut butters for allergies.
