A creamy, wholesome overnight oats recipe combining peanut butter and ripe banana for a quick, satisfying packed lunch or breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (45g)
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (120ml) – dairy or plant-based
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (32g), natural and unsweetened
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (60g), optional
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds, optional
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana in a mixing bowl with a fork until smooth with a few small lumps remain (about 1-2 minutes).
  2. Stir in the peanut butter and honey or maple syrup until combined and creamy. If peanut butter is thick, microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften.
  3. Pour in the milk and Greek yogurt (if using), whisk gently to blend (about 30 seconds).
  4. Add the rolled oats and chia seeds (if using), stir well until oats are fully coated and mixture is uniform.
  5. Mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to round out flavors.
  6. Transfer the mixture into a mason jar or airtight container, seal and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  7. Before eating, stir the oats well. Add toppings like sliced banana, chopped nuts, or extra peanut butter if desired. If too thick, stir in a splash of milk to loosen.

Notes

Use ripe bananas with brown spots for best flavor and creaminess. Natural, unsweetened peanut butter is recommended for balanced sweetness. Chia seeds are optional but improve texture and fiber content. Adjust milk quantity if oats are too watery or thick. Can be served cold or gently warmed with added milk. Store in fridge up to 4 days; add milk before eating if thickened. For vegan version, substitute dairy milk and yogurt with plant-based alternatives and use maple syrup instead of honey.
