A comforting and creamy overnight oats recipe that combines the flavors of banana bread with a rich peanut butter drizzle. Perfect for a quick, wholesome breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) rolled oats (old-fashioned preferred)
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk of choice (whole milk or almond milk recommended)
  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed
  • ¼ cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mash 1 large ripe banana in a mixing bowl using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with a few small lumps remain (about 1-2 minutes).
  2. Add ½ cup (120ml) milk of choice, ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon maple syrup (if using), and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Stir gently until well incorporated (about 1 minute).
  3. Stir in ½ cup (45g) rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until all oats are coated and mixture is evenly combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into a mason jar or airtight container and seal tightly.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats and chia seeds to soften and thicken.
  6. Before serving, gently warm 2 tablespoons peanut butter in the microwave for 15-20 seconds and stir to smooth out lumps.
  7. Give the oats a quick stir if needed, then drizzle the warmed peanut butter over the top. Optionally garnish with sliced banana, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better flavor. Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add nutrition. Adjust milk quantity to reach preferred consistency. Warm peanut butter slightly before drizzling to avoid clumps. Can be made ahead for several days and stored refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen up to 1 month (without peanut butter drizzle).
