A quick and easy 5-minute prep recipe for creamy, nourishing overnight oats with peanut butter and banana, perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • 1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter (125g)
  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 cup milk of choice (240ml) – dairy or plant-based
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (120g) – dairy or dairy-free
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (30ml), optional
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds, optional
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: banana slices, chopped peanuts or granola, drizzle of peanut butter, sprinkle of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana in a medium bowl until smooth but still a bit chunky, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add peanut butter, milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl. Whisk until fully incorporated and creamy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Stir in rolled oats and chia seeds if using, mixing gently but thoroughly.
  4. Spoon the mixture evenly into four 8-ounce (240ml) mason jars or containers, leaving space at the top. Seal each jar tightly.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to soften oats and meld flavors.
  6. In the morning, stir gently if needed and add desired toppings. Enjoy chilled or let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if preferred less cold.

Notes

Use natural creamy peanut butter for best texture. Mash bananas instead of slicing for better sweetness and cohesion. Adjust milk amount if oats are too thick after soaking. Warm peanut butter slightly if it separates. Can substitute ingredients for dietary needs or flavor variations.
