A quick and easy no-cook overnight oats recipe packed with protein, banana, and peanut butter for a healthy and satisfying breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (chunky or smooth)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) cottage cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In your jar or bowl, add 1/2 cup rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds (if using). Stir to distribute.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Pour in 1/2 cup milk and 1/4 cup Greek yogurt. Stir gently to combine. Blend in 1/4 cup cottage cheese if desired for ultra-smooth texture.
  3. Mix in flavorings: Add 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if using. Stir until evenly mixed.
  4. Add sliced banana: Layer or fold in 1 medium ripe banana slices.
  5. Cover and refrigerate: Seal the jar or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to soften and thicken.
  6. Morning check: Stir oats before eating. Add a splash of milk if too thick and adjust sweetness if needed.
  7. Optional toppings: Sprinkle with chopped nuts, seeds, or fresh berries before serving.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Chia seeds help thicken without cooking. Ripe banana adds natural sweetness. Cottage cheese can be blended in for extra protein and creaminess. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge up to 3 days. Add milk before eating if too thick. Avoid freezing due to texture changes.
