Description
Start your day on the right foot with creamy, protein-packed peanut butter banana overnight oats! This quick and easy make-ahead breakfast combines the wholesome goodness of oats, peanut butter, and bananas for a flavor-packed meal that will keep you energized all morning.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 4 tbsp chia seeds
- 4 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 large ripe banana (mashed)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (optional, adjust for sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, peanut butter, mashed banana, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well combined. - Refrigerate:
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
Serve:
Before serving, stir the oats to ensure an even consistency. Serve in bowls or jars, topped with fresh banana slices, a drizzle of peanut butter, or your favorite toppings
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days for a convenient grab-and-go breakfast.
Add toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds just before serving for the best texture.
