Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats

Overnight oats with peanut butter and banana just have to be the most delicious on-the-go breakfast. Incredibly easy to make and easy to customize too!

Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats

Peanut butter banana overnight oats make the best on-the-go breakfast. They are healthy, easy to make, and 100% customizable.

Made entirely the night before with old-fashioned oats, yogurt, milk, chia seeds, honey, and peanut butter. You can adapt the recipe to suit your taste or diet needs.

Overnight oats are meant to be enjoyed cold and will keep in the refrigerator for up to five days. So you can whip up a batch of these overnight oats over the weekend to enjoy it for breakfast all week long.

Ingredients for Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats

• Rolled Oats: Old-fashioned oats are the preferred oats for this recipe. They soak up the liquid really nicely leaving you with creamy texture. I do not recommend quick-cooking oats or steel-cut oats.
• Peanut Butter: For best texture, use creamy peanut butter. Almond butter can be used instead.
• Milk: Dairy or non-dairy milk works. If using non-dairy milk, it’s best to stick with unsweetened.
• Yogurt: Yogurt adds a nice creamy component to the overnight oats. You can use regular or Greek yogurt. Just make sure it’s plain yogurt.
• Chia Seeds: They plump and absorb moisture as they soak, giving the oats a thicker consistency.
• Honey: Techinically, sweetener is optional, but I really love the way honey adds a slight sweetness to the oats. You can substitute with maple syrup as well.
• Salt: Just a pinch of salt to balance out the flavor.
• To Serve: Sliced bananas and ground cinnamon. I also like to add a small dollop of yogurt for even more creaminess.

How to Make Peanut Butter and Banana Overnight Oats

• In a bowl, combine the oats, peanut butter, and 2 tablespoons of milk. Mix in the peanut butter into the oats.

• Stir in yogurt, chia seeds, honey, salt, and the remaining milk.

• Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight or up to 5 days. The oats will soften and thicken overnight.

And the Best Part?

The toppings!

While you can certainly eat overnight oats as is, they are even better with toppings.

When ready to serve, top your oats with sliced bananas and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy chilled. However, if you prefer your oats warm, simply heat them up before adding the toppings.

For more toppings, try adding fresh berries, dried fruit, nuts, seeds, and a dollop of yogurt.
