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

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Blend the peanut butter and milk: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together 2 tablespoons (30g) of peanut butter with 1 cup (240ml) of milk until smooth and creamy.
  2. Mash the banana: Peel and mash 1 large ripe banana with a fork until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky.
  3. Combine oats and chia seeds: In your chosen container, add 1 cup (90g) rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds if using. Stir to distribute evenly.
  4. Add wet ingredients: Pour the peanut butter-milk mixture over the oats. Add mashed banana, ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional), ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly to combine.
  5. Check consistency: The mixture should be thick but pourable—if too dry, add a splash more milk; if too watery, add a teaspoon of oats or chia seeds.
  6. Seal and refrigerate: Cover the jar or container tightly and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours.
  7. Stir before serving: The next morning, stir the oats well. If too thick, add a little milk to loosen. Top with sliced bananas, a drizzle of peanut butter, or nuts if desired.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Blend peanut butter with milk first to avoid clumps. Adjust sweetness after soaking if desired. Can omit chia seeds for a looser texture. Store in fridge up to 3 days. Warm in microwave for 30-45 seconds if preferred hot.
