Print Recipe

These creamy peanut butter banana overnight oats are perfect for meal prep. Made with simple ingredients like rolled oats, ripe bananas, and peanut butter, they keep you full past 10 a.m. and require only 10 minutes of active time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (180g) rolled oats
  • 2 large ripe bananas (about 1 cup mashed)
  • ½ cup (130g) creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups (480ml) milk (any kind)
  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons (20g) chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: sliced banana, drizzle of peanut butter, chopped peanuts, dark chocolate chips, cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl until mostly smooth, leaving a few small chunks if desired.
  2. Add the peanut butter and stir into the mashed banana until well combined.
  3. Pour in the milk and Greek yogurt, then whisk until smooth.
  4. Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed and oats are submerged.
  5. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to allow oats and chia seeds to start absorbing liquid.
  6. Divide the mixture evenly among 4 to 5 jars, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Seal the jars tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  8. Before serving, stir the oats and add desired toppings.

Notes

Use ripe bananas with brown spots for best sweetness. Do not skip chia seeds—they are essential for thickening. Mix peanut butter with banana first to avoid clumps. Let mixture rest 5 minutes before jarring for consistent texture. Store jars upright with tight lids. Oats keep up to 5 days in the fridge; texture is best between days 1 and 3. For warm oats, microwave a jar for 45 to 60 seconds, stirring halfway.
