Overnight Oats with Peanut Butter and Banana
Overnight oats with peanut butter and banana is a simple and delicious make-ahead breakfast that requires minimal effort and is packed with flavor. The combination of creamy peanut butter and sweet banana creates a satisfying and nutritious morning meal.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk of your choice (dairy milk, almond milk, soy milk, etc.)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter (no added sugar or oil)
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: Sliced banana, a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of cinnamon, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut
INSTRUCTIONS
In a mason jar or airtight container, combine rolled oats, milk, chia seeds, mashed banana, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Seal the container and refrigerate it overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours. This will allow the oats to soak and soften.
In the morning, give the mixture a good stir to ensure all the ingredients are combined. If it’s too thick, you can add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
You can enjoy the overnight oats directly from the jar, or transfer them to a bowl.
Top the oats with additional sliced banana, a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of cinnamon, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut, if desired.
Mix everything together and savor your delicious and nutritious peanut butter and banana overnight oats!
TIPS
You can use any type of milk you prefer – dairy or plant-based options both work well.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less mashed banana or a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or any other sweetener of your choice.
Feel free to add other toppings like fresh berries, chopped apples, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and flavor.
The recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to make multiple servings for the week.
