A quick and easy high-protein overnight oats recipe combining creamy peanut butter, ripe banana, Greek yogurt, and protein powder for a wholesome and satisfying breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (120g) Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) natural peanut butter
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) protein powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients: Add 1/2 cup rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds (if using) into a jar or bowl and stir to mix evenly.
  2. Add the wet ingredients: Spoon in 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (if desired). Stir gently to combine.
  3. Incorporate peanut butter and banana: Mash the ripe banana in a small bowl, add 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter, and stir until smooth. Fold this mixture into the oat mixture until creamy and slightly thick.
  4. Add protein powder: Mix in 1 scoop of protein powder thoroughly to avoid lumps (if using).
  5. Seal and refrigerate: Cover the jar or container tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow oats to soften and flavors to meld.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Stir the oats well in the morning. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Top with sliced banana, chopped nuts, or extra peanut butter if desired.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creamy texture. Adjust milk quantity if mixture is too thick. Warming peanut butter slightly helps blend it smoothly. Prepare multiple jars for easy grab-and-go breakfasts. Store in fridge up to 3 days. Variations include adding cocoa powder, berries, or using nut-free butters.
