A creamy, protein-rich overnight oats recipe combining peanut butter, banana, and Greek yogurt for a quick and delicious breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (45g)
  • 2 tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (60g), plain or vanilla
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (120ml) – almond, oat, or dairy milk
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (~30g) – optional
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds – optional
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup – optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana in a medium mixing bowl with a fork until smooth with a few small lumps remain (1-2 minutes).
  2. Stir in the peanut butter and Greek yogurt until thick and creamy.
  3. Add rolled oats and chia seeds (if using), stirring until combined.
  4. Pour in milk and protein powder, mixing thoroughly to avoid clumps. Add extra milk if mixture is too thick.
  5. Season with ground cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and honey or maple syrup if desired. Stir well.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a mason jar or airtight container and seal tightly.
  7. Refrigerate overnight for at least 6 hours, ideally 8-10 hours, to allow oats to absorb liquid and flavors to meld.
  8. Serve chilled, stirring well before eating. Add extra milk if too thick. Top with sliced banana, peanut butter drizzle, or crunchy nuts if desired.

Notes

Use natural creamy peanut butter without added sugar or oils for best flavor and texture. Stir protein powder slowly to avoid clumps. Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add texture. Refrigerate at least 6 hours for best results. Store in airtight containers up to 4 days. Add milk before eating if too thick. For vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and protein powder, and replace honey with maple syrup or agave.
