These Creamy Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats are a quick, 5-minute prep breakfast that delivers a creamy, satisfying texture. Made with simple ingredients like rolled oats, ripe banana, and peanut butter, they’re perfect for busy mornings and can be customized endlessly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
  • 1 medium ripe banana (about 4–5 inches)
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk of choice (e.g., whole milk, oat milk, almond milk)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds (optional but recommended)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: sliced banana, extra peanut butter, chopped peanuts, cinnamon, chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana: Peel the ripe banana and place it in a jar or small bowl. Use a fork to mash it thoroughly until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
  2. Add wet ingredients: To the mashed banana, add peanut butter, milk, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Pour in rolled oats, chia seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir until everything is evenly distributed. The mixture will look liquid—this is normal.
  4. Taste and adjust: Dip a clean spoon in and check sweetness and peanut butter flavor. Add more maple syrup or salt if needed.
  5. Seal and refrigerate: Put the lid on the jar or container and shake or stir once more. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, but ideally 8-12 hours (overnight).
  6. Serve in the morning: Take the jar out of the fridge and stir well. If too thick, stir in an extra splash of milk to reach desired consistency.
  7. Add toppings: Top with sliced banana, a drizzle of warm peanut butter, cinnamon, or other desired toppings. Serve cold, at room temperature, or warmed in the microwave for 45-60 seconds.

Notes

Use a very ripe banana (spotted with brown) for best sweetness and texture. If peanut butter is cold, microwave for 10-15 seconds to mix smoothly. Oats keep in the fridge for up to 5 days; flavors improve on days 2-3. For a warm version, microwave for 45-60 seconds. To freeze, use a freezer-safe jar with 1 inch headroom; thaw overnight in the fridge.
