This creamy peanut butter banana overnight oats recipe is a game-changer for busy mornings. Ready in just 5 minutes, it combines rolled oats, ripe banana, and peanut butter for a naturally sweet, protein-packed breakfast that tastes like a treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole, oat, or almond)
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed (about 120g)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • For toppings (optional): sliced banana, drizzle of peanut butter, dark chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, sprinkle of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Mash the ripe banana in a mixing bowl or directly in your jar until mostly smooth with a few tiny lumps.
  2. Add the milk, peanut butter, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
  3. Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a tiny pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and no dry oats remain.
  4. Seal the jar or cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but overnight (8 to 12 hours) is best.
  5. In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk. Add desired toppings and enjoy cold or microwave for 45 to 60 seconds for warm oats.

Notes

Mash the banana well to avoid chunks. Stir twice before refrigerating to distribute chia seeds and peanut butter. Use rolled oats for best texture. Add toppings fresh in the morning. Overnight oats keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. Do not freeze.
