A quick, no-cook breakfast that combines the nostalgic flavor of a peanut butter banana sandwich with the creamy convenience of overnight oats. Prepare in five minutes 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 peanut butter
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 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 peanut butter, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the jar. Stir until well combined and creamy.
  3. Add the old-fashioned oats and chia seeds (if using). Stir thoroughly, ensuring all oats are coated.
  4. Pour in the milk and stir once more until fully incorporated. The mixture will be loose.
  5. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. Before eating, stir the oats. Add desired toppings such as extra peanut butter, banana slices, or chopped nuts.

Notes

For best texture, use old-fashioned rolled oats, not quick oats. The mixture thickens significantly in the fridge. For a dairy-free version, use plant-based yogurt and milk. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
