A quick and easy overnight oats recipe combining creamy peanut butter and ripe banana for a healthy, satisfying breakfast that’s ready when you are.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk (dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk)
  • ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) peanut butter (creamy or natural)
  • 1 ripe banana (mashed or sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In your bowl or jar, add ½ cup (45g) of rolled oats and 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds if using. Add a pinch of salt.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together ½ cup (120ml) milk, ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons (32g) peanut butter, 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or maple syrup, and ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract until creamy.
  3. Add the banana: Mash one ripe banana with a fork until smooth or slice if you prefer chunks. Stir into the wet mixture until combined.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture over the oats and chia seeds. Stir everything well to coat the oats and create a creamy texture.
  5. Refrigerate overnight: Cover the bowl or seal the jar with a lid. Place in the fridge for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight.
  6. Final touch: In the morning, stir the oats well. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Enjoy cold or warm gently in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.

Notes

Use firm, ripe bananas for natural sweetness. For dairy-free, swap Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use plant-based milk. Certified gluten-free oats are recommended for gluten-free diet. Blend peanut butter and banana for ultra-smooth texture. Store in fridge up to 3 days. Warm gently if preferred.
