Print Recipe

A quick and easy creamy overnight oats recipe combining peanut butter and banana for a comforting, nutritious breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45 g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk (dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
  • 2 tablespoons (32 g) peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) Greek yogurt (optional but recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon (12 g) chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana in a mixing bowl until mostly smooth with a few small lumps (about 2 minutes).
  2. Add milk, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until combined (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add rolled oats and chia seeds. Stir thoroughly to coat oats and distribute chia seeds evenly (about 1 minute).
  4. Transfer the mixture into a jar or container with a lid and seal tightly.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats to soak and chia seeds to gel.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats well. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Top with extra banana slices, peanut butter drizzle, or nuts if desired.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; instant oats get mushy. Chia seeds thicken the mixture and add fiber but can be omitted. Warm peanut butter slightly if hard to mix. Store in fridge up to 3 days. Add milk in the morning if too thick. For vegan version, use plant-based milk and dairy-free yogurt.
