A quick and easy healthy breakfast featuring creamy overnight oats soaked with peanut butter, banana, and chia seeds for a nutritious and filling start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (45g)
  • ½ cup milk of choice (120ml) – dairy, almond, or oat milk
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt (60g), plain or vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (32g), creamy or crunchy
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (12g)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (7g), optional
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (2.5ml), optional
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana in a medium bowl until mostly smooth with a few small chunks remaining (about 2 minutes).
  2. Add milk, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until peanut butter blends smoothly (3 minutes).
  3. Add rolled oats and chia seeds to the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly to coat oats and chia seeds (2 minutes).
  4. Transfer the mixture evenly into one or two mason jars or airtight containers (1 minute).
  5. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats well. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Top with extra sliced banana, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of peanut butter if desired (1-2 minutes).

Notes

If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in more milk to reach desired consistency. For extra creaminess, blend the banana before mixing. Rolled oats are preferred over quick oats for better texture. Chia seeds help thicken and add nutrition. The recipe can be adapted for vegan or nut-free diets by substituting ingredients accordingly.
