Print Recipe

A simple, creamy overnight oats recipe combining peanut butter and banana for a healthy, nourishing breakfast that’s quick to prepare and perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) milk of choice (unsweetened almond milk, whole milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or soy milk)
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) natural peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt or cottage cheese (optional, can use dairy-free yogurt for vegan)
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a mason jar or bowl, add oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mash the banana. Add milk, Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk gently until combined.
  3. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir well to combine, ensuring oats are fully submerged.
  4. Seal the jar or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  5. In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Serve topped with sliced bananas, a drizzle of peanut butter, chopped nuts, or dark chocolate chips if desired.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant or steel-cut oats. For vegan version, use dairy-free yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey. Adjust milk quantity if oats are too thick. Warming peanut butter slightly helps mixing. Store leftovers in airtight container up to 3 days. Reheat gently if preferred warm.
