This creamy peanut butter banana overnight oats recipe is the breakfast you never knew you needed. It’s simple enough for a harried Tuesday morning but good enough to feel like a treat, with perfect texture and balanced flavors that come together in about five minutes of actual effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup milk (2% cow’s milk or any milk of choice)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mash half the banana in a mason jar or airtight container until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
  2. Add 1/3 cup milk, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter, 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until peanut butter is fully incorporated.
  3. Add 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and a tiny pinch of salt. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
  4. Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  5. In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen.
  6. Slice the remaining half banana and arrange on top. Add optional toppings like a drizzle of peanut butter, cinnamon, or chopped peanuts. Serve cold or let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Notes

Mash half the banana into the mixture the night before and slice the other half fresh in the morning for best flavor and texture. If peanut butter is cold, microwave for 10-15 seconds for easier mixing. Adjust milk amount to reach desired consistency. Oats keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. For batch prep, leave banana slices off until ready to eat.
