A quick and easy overnight oats recipe combining creamy peanut butter, ripe banana, and Greek yogurt for a nutritious and satisfying breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice (whole, almond, or oat milk)
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (7g) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana in a mixing bowl with a fork until smooth but still a bit chunky (about 1-2 minutes).
  2. Add milk, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir until peanut butter is mostly incorporated.
  3. Add rolled oats, chia seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly to combine.
  4. Transfer the mixture into a 12-ounce mason jar or airtight container and seal tightly.
  5. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow oats and chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Top with sliced bananas, a drizzle of peanut butter, or chopped nuts if desired.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant or steel-cut oats. Mash banana before mixing for even sweetness. Chia seeds are optional but add fiber and thickness. Warm peanut butter slightly if it doesn’t blend well. Store leftovers in fridge up to 3 days. Reheat gently with splash of milk if desired.
