A creamy, satisfying, and protein-rich overnight oats recipe combining peanut butter and banana for a quick, easy, and nutritious breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt (dairy or dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) natural peanut butter
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 scoop (about 25g) protein powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a jar or container, add 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds if using.
  2. Pour in 1/2 cup milk of your choice and 1/4 cup Greek yogurt. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter. Microwave for 10 seconds if too stiff, then swirl into the mixture until smooth.
  4. Peel and mash 1 medium ripe banana and add to the oats mixture.
  5. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey if desired.
  6. Add 1 scoop protein powder if using and mix thoroughly.
  7. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  8. In the morning, stir the oats. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Top with extra banana slices, peanut butter, or chopped nuts if desired.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Warm peanut butter slightly if stiff for easier mixing. Stir thoroughly before refrigerating to avoid clumps. Minimum 6 hours soaking for best texture; 4 hours can work but less creamy. Add fresh banana or cinnamon before serving for extra flavor. Store in fridge up to 3 days; stir and add milk if thickened. Freezes well in individual portions.
