Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (any kind)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 1–2 tablespoons (15-30ml) maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 medium ripe banana
  • 2–3 tablespoons (32-48g) creamy peanut butter
  • Optional toppings: sliced banana, drizzle of peanut butter, chopped peanuts, dark chocolate chips, cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana in a medium mixing bowl until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
  2. Add the peanut butter to the mashed banana and stir until fully combined into a thick, sticky paste.
  3. Pour in the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and evenly colored.
  4. Stir in the rolled oats, chia seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt until all oats are coated and submerged.
  5. Divide the mixture evenly into 2-3 jars or airtight containers, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top.
  6. Seal the jars and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight (8-12 hours).
  7. In the morning, stir the oats well. Serve cold or microwave for 45-60 seconds if desired. Top with sliced banana, a drizzle of peanut butter, and any other toppings you like.

Notes

For best results, use a very ripe banana with brown spots. Mash the banana and mix with peanut butter before adding other ingredients for a creamy, uniform texture. If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; texture is best within the first 3 days.
