A quick and easy overnight oats recipe combining creamy peanut butter, ripe banana, and Greek yogurt for a protein-rich, satisfying breakfast that’s ready to grab and go.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (45g)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla (120g)
  • ½ cup milk, any kind (120ml)
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (32g)
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed or sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (12g), optional
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (7g), optional
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (2.5ml)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Start by mashing your banana using a fork until smooth but still a little chunky, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Combine the oats and chia seeds in your jar or bowl.
  3. Add Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir well to mix all wet ingredients evenly.
  4. If desired, add honey or maple syrup and stir to combine.
  5. Fold in the peanut butter gently to create creamy pockets throughout the oats.
  6. Mix in the mashed banana gently until the oats look creamy and speckled with peanut butter swirls.
  7. Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  8. The next morning, give the oats a gentle stir and serve with optional toppings like banana slices, peanut butter drizzle, or granola.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; chia seeds help thicken the oats; fold peanut butter instead of stirring for creamy pockets; ripe bananas add natural sweetness; adjust milk amount for preferred thickness; store in fridge up to 3 days; add protein powder or swap ingredients for vegan or nut-free versions.
