A quick and easy overnight oats recipe combining natural peanut butter and ripe bananas for a creamy, wholesome breakfast that’s ready in under 10 minutes with no cooking required.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) natural peanut butter
  • 1 medium ripe banana (half mashed, half sliced)
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds (optional but recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon (0.5g) ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Mash half of the ripe banana in a medium bowl using a fork until smooth but still a little chunky (about 2 minutes).
  2. Add peanut butter, milk of choice, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Whisk or stir vigorously until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth (3 minutes).
  3. Stir in the rolled oats, chia seeds, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure all oats are coated with the peanut butter banana mixture (2 minutes).
  4. Spoon the mixture into a mason jar or airtight container. Smooth the top gently with the back of a spoon (1 minute).
  5. Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight.
  6. Before serving, slice the remaining half of the banana and layer on top of the overnight oats (1 minute).
  7. Optional: Add chopped nuts, a drizzle of extra peanut butter, or a sprinkle of cacao nibs for extra flavor and crunch.

Notes

If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash more milk to loosen. Warm peanut butter slightly if it is hard to mix. Do not skip chia seeds for best creamy texture. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Store prepared jars in the fridge up to 3 days; add banana slices fresh each morning to avoid browning. Can be eaten cold or warmed briefly.
