A quick and easy overnight oats recipe combining creamy peanut butter, chocolate chips, and fresh banana slices for a satisfying and indulgent breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (50g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
  • ½ medium banana, sliced fresh
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients: In your jar or bowl, add ½ cup (50g) of old-fashioned rolled oats and 1 teaspoon of chia seeds if using. Stir briefly to mix.
  2. Mix wet ingredients separately: In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup (120ml) milk, ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter, 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract if using. Whisk until the peanut butter is well incorporated and smooth.
  3. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture over the oats and chia seeds. Stir thoroughly to combine, ensuring oats are fully submerged.
  4. Add chocolate chips: Stir in 2 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips.
  5. Seal and refrigerate: Cover the jar or container tightly and place in the fridge for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. Add banana slices before serving: Slice ½ a medium banana and layer it on top just before eating.
  7. Enjoy cold or warm: Eat straight from the fridge or warm slightly in the microwave for about 30 seconds, stirring gently afterward.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; mix peanut butter thoroughly with wet ingredients to avoid clumps; add banana slices fresh before serving to prevent browning; warm gently if desired but avoid overheating to prevent gummy texture; can swap peanut butter for other nut butters or use plant-based yogurt for dairy-free version.
