A quick, easy, and nourishing overnight oats recipe featuring natural peanut butter and ripe banana for a creamy, wholesome breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) natural peanut butter (unsweetened, creamy or chunky)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (7g) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mash 1 medium ripe banana in a mixing bowl with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky (about 2 minutes).
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter and stir into the mashed banana until creamy and slightly thick.
  3. Pour in 1 cup (240ml) of chosen milk and add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract if using; stir gently to combine.
  4. Add 1 cup (90g) rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if desired; stir well until evenly mixed.
  5. Spoon the mixture into 2-3 airtight containers or mason jars, leaving space at the top for expansion.
  6. Seal containers and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  7. In the morning, stir the oats; eat cold or warm in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. Optionally top with fresh banana slices or extra peanut butter.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. Natural peanut butter without added sugar works best. Chia seeds help thicken the oats but can be omitted for a looser texture. Stir well before refrigerating to avoid clumps. Adjust sweetness after chilling if needed. Can be stored in the fridge up to 4 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
