A creamy, no-cook breakfast that tastes like a peanut butter banana sandwich. Just mix ingredients the night before for a ready-to-eat, protein-packed meal in the morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (e.g., unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a 16-ounce jar or airtight container, mash the ripe banana with a fork until mostly smooth.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the jar. Stir vigorously until a smooth, creamy paste forms.
  3. Add the rolled oats and chia seeds (if using) to the jar. Pour in the milk.
  4. Seal the jar and shake well, or stir thoroughly with a spoon, until all ingredients are fully combined and no dry spots remain.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and the flavors to develop.

Notes

For best texture, use old-fashioned rolled oats, not quick oats. The mixture will look loose before chilling; this is normal. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For a dairy-free version, use plant-based yogurt and milk.
