Print Recipe

These creamy peanut butter banana overnight oats are the perfect make-ahead breakfast for busy school mornings. With simple ingredients and no cooking required, they’re a crowd-pleaser that keeps everyone full and happy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 large ripe banana (mashed)
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • Optional toppings: banana slices, peanut butter drizzle, 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips, chopped peanuts

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until mostly smooth.
  2. Add the milk, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the peanut butter is fully incorporated.
  3. Stir in the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Mix until evenly distributed.
  4. Divide the mixture evenly into four 8-ounce jars or containers, leaving about half an inch of space at the top.
  5. Seal the jars and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight (8 to 12 hours).
  6. In the morning, stir the oats, add desired toppings, and enjoy cold or microwave for 30-45 seconds if preferred warm.

Notes

Mashing the banana into the oat mixture is key for creaminess. Use spotty ripe bananas for best sweetness. For a thicker texture, add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds. Oats keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days. Add toppings just before serving to keep banana slices fresh.
