A wholesome and creamy overnight oats recipe combining peanut butter, ripe banana, and oats for a quick, nutritious breakfast that feels like a cozy hug in a jar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
  • 2 tablespoons (32 g) natural peanut butter
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon (7 g) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (12 g) chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: banana slices, chopped nuts, cinnamon, fresh berries

Instructions

  1. Mash 1 medium ripe banana thoroughly with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving a few small chunks for texture.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter and 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (if using) to the mashed banana. Stir vigorously to combine into a smooth paste.
  3. Pour in 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk and 1/4 cup (60 g) Greek yogurt. Stir to combine all wet ingredients evenly with the peanut butter banana mixture.
  4. Add 1/2 cup (45 g) rolled oats, 1 tablespoon (12 g) chia seeds, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to incorporate everything.
  5. Cover the bowl or jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to let the oats soak and soften.
  6. The next morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Top with banana slices, nuts, or cinnamon if desired and serve.

Notes

Use smooth peanut butter for a creamy texture. Warm peanut butter briefly if too thick to mix. Ensure banana is ripe for natural sweetness. Add a splash of milk in the morning if oats are too thick. Certified gluten-free oats are needed for gluten-free diet. Can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for nut-free or different flavor. Vegan adaptation possible with plant-based milk, yogurt, and maple syrup instead of honey.
