Print Recipe

A quick and easy healthy breakfast recipe featuring creamy overnight oats blended with peanut butter and mashed banana for natural sweetness and rich flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter (smooth or crunchy, natural preferred)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice (almond, dairy, oat, etc.)
  • 1/2 cup (120g) Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana in a medium bowl until mostly smooth with a few small chunks remaining.
  2. Add peanut butter to the mashed banana and stir well to combine until creamy and spreadable.
  3. Add rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt to the bowl and stir to distribute evenly.
  4. Pour in milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until well combined and the peanut butter is fully incorporated.
  5. Divide the mixture evenly into two or three airtight containers or mason jars and seal tightly.
  6. Refrigerate overnight for at least 6 hours to allow oats to soak and thicken.
  7. In the morning, stir the oats well. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Top with fresh banana slices, a drizzle of peanut butter, or chopped nuts if desired.

Notes

If peanut butter is very thick, warm slightly before mixing for smoothness. Mash banana directly in jar to save dishes. Adjust milk amount if oats soak up too much liquid and become dry. Oats store well up to 3 days refrigerated. Stir before serving and add milk if needed. Can warm gently on stove or microwave if preferred warm.
