A simple, quick, and delicious overnight oats recipe combining peanut butter, banana, and oats for a creamy, satisfying breakfast that’s perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or other)
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mash 1 ripe banana in a jar or bowl using a fork until smooth but still a bit chunky.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter and stir into the mashed banana until creamy and combined.
  3. Pour in ½ cup rolled oats and ½ cup milk of choice. Stir gently but thoroughly.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if desired for extra sweetness and stir to combine.
  5. Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  6. The next morning, stir the oats. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Top with banana slices, chia seeds, or chopped nuts if desired. Serve cold or warm gently in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; quick oats tend to get mushy. Natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils is recommended. You can swap peanut butter for almond or sunflower seed butter for allergies. Adjust milk quantity for preferred thickness. Store leftovers in fridge up to 4 days. Warm gently if preferred.
