These creamy peanut butter banana overnight oats are a quick, no-cook breakfast that comes together in just 5 minutes. With simple ingredients like rolled oats, peanut butter, banana, and milk, you can wake up to a delicious, grab-and-go meal that tastes like a treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk (any kind)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 medium ripe banana

Instructions

  1. Mash half the banana in a jar or small bowl until smooth with a few small lumps.
  2. Add milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mashed banana. Stir or whisk until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and slightly thick.
  3. Pour in rolled oats and chia seeds. Stir well until everything is evenly combined and the oats are fully submerged.
  4. Slice the remaining half of the banana and arrange on top. Drizzle or dollop the remaining peanut butter over the top. Add optional toppings like chocolate chips or cinnamon if desired. Swirl gently for a marbled effect.
  5. Cover the jar or bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight (8-12 hours).
  6. In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk. Serve cold or let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Add extra peanut butter drizzle if desired.

Notes

For best texture, use rolled oats (not instant or steel-cut). Mash half the banana into the oat mixture for creaminess. Chia seeds are optional but help create a pudding-like consistency. If using a thinner milk (like unsweetened almond), the oats will be slightly less rich. For vegan version, use maple syrup and plant-based yogurt or omit yogurt. Store in fridge for up to 5 days; add fresh banana topping each morning.
