A quick, healthy, and satisfying overnight oats recipe with peanut butter and banana, perfect for busy mornings and dorm life. Ready to eat with minimal prep and customizable to your taste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (45g)
  • ½ cup milk of choice (120ml) – dairy or plant-based
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (60g)
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (32g)
  • ½ medium banana, mashed or sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (12g)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (7g, optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional add-ins: 1 tablespoon chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon crushed nuts (walnuts or pecans), a pinch of ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base (5 minutes): In your jar or container, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of cinnamon if using. Stir to distribute evenly.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients (3 minutes): Pour in the milk and Greek yogurt. Add the peanut butter—warm slightly or stir well if thick. Mix thoroughly to coat oats and disperse chia seeds.
  3. Add Banana and Sweetener (2 minutes): Mash half a ripe banana with a fork and stir into the mixture. Add honey or maple syrup if extra sweetness is desired.
  4. Flavor Boost (1 minute): Stir in vanilla extract. Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.
  5. Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats and chia seeds to absorb liquid and thicken.
  6. Enjoy: Stir the oats well before eating. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Top with extra banana slices, peanut butter drizzle, or preferred toppings.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Natural peanut butter without added sugar or oil is best. Adjust milk quantity for preferred thickness. Stir well before refrigerating and before eating to avoid clumps. Can microwave for 20-30 seconds if a warm breakfast is preferred. Store refrigerated up to 3 days. Customize with add-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or protein powder.
