Print Recipe

A quick and easy overnight oats recipe combining creamy peanut butter, ripe banana, chia seeds, and honey for a wholesome and satisfying breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (smooth or crunchy, natural unsweetened)
  • 1 ripe medium banana, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon (about 12g) chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana in a mixing bowl with a fork until mostly smooth but with some texture (about 1-2 minutes).
  2. Stir in peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) until well combined.
  3. Add rolled oats and chia seeds; stir well to start absorbing moisture evenly.
  4. Pour in milk and vanilla extract; stir until everything is combined and oats are submerged.
  5. Add a pinch of salt to balance flavors and enhance sweetness.
  6. Transfer the mixture to a jar or airtight container and seal tightly.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight (8-12 hours ideal) to allow oats and chia seeds to soften and thicken.
  8. In the morning, give the oats a gentle stir. Add sliced bananas, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of nuts if desired before serving.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant oats. Ripe bananas add natural sweetness and creaminess. Chia seeds are key for thickening and texture. Adjust milk or oats in the morning if consistency is too thick or thin. Can swap peanut butter with almond or cashew butter. For vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup or agave. Leftovers keep up to 3 days refrigerated. Freezing not recommended due to texture changes.
