Print Recipe

A quick and easy no-fuss breakfast featuring creamy peanut butter and ripe banana blended into rolled oats, soaked overnight for a comforting and nourishing start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45 g) rolled oats (old-fashioned recommended)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
  • 2 tablespoons (32 g) creamy peanut butter (natural preferred)
  • 1 small ripe banana (about 90 g), mashed
  • ¼ cup (60 g) Greek yogurt (optional, dairy-free alternative if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana in a medium bowl with a fork until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky.
  2. Add milk, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mashed banana. Whisk or stir vigorously until smooth and peanut butter is fully incorporated.
  3. Stir in rolled oats and chia seeds (if using) until oats are evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the mixture into a mason jar or airtight container and seal tightly.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats well. Add extra milk if a looser consistency is desired. Top with sliced banana, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of peanut butter before serving.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; quick oats may become mushy. Mix peanut butter thoroughly into wet ingredients to avoid clumps. Adjust milk amount in the morning for preferred consistency. Chia seeds help thicken but are optional. Use ripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness. Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein but can be omitted for dairy-free versions. Store leftovers in fridge up to 3 days; stir in milk before eating if thickened.
