A quick and easy no-cook breakfast featuring creamy overnight oats blended with peanut butter, ripe banana, and chia seeds for a nutritious and delicious start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
  • 2 tbsp (32g) peanut butter (creamy or natural)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 tbsp (12g) chia seeds
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana in a small bowl or directly in your jar until mostly smooth with a few small chunks (1-2 minutes).
  2. Stir in 2 tablespoons of peanut butter until fully combined with the banana, creating a creamy, thick paste. Warm peanut butter slightly if too stiff.
  3. Add 1/2 cup rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds to the banana-peanut butter mixture and stir well to coat.
  4. Pour in 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if using. Stir thoroughly until creamy and slightly loose.
  5. Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats and chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats to check consistency. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Top with sliced banana, a drizzle of peanut butter, or chopped nuts if desired.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and smooth texture. Adjust chia seeds to control thickness. Warm peanut butter slightly if too stiff for easier mixing. Store in fridge up to 3 days. Add fresh fruit or nuts before serving for extra texture and flavor.
