A quick and easy overnight oats recipe combining creamy peanut butter, ripe banana, and melty chocolate chips for a delicious and satisfying breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45 grams) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk (dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
  • 2 tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 2 tablespoons semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and mash one ripe banana in a bowl until smooth with a few lumps remaining (about 1-2 minutes).
  2. Add 1/2 cup (120 ml) of your preferred milk to the mashed banana, then stir in 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter until creamy and combined. Add 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract if desired.
  3. In a mason jar or container, add 1/2 cup (45 grams) rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds if using. Pour the banana-peanut butter mixture over the oats and stir thoroughly to coat evenly.
  4. Gently fold in 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips, keeping them mostly whole.
  5. Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight (about 8 hours) to let the oats soak and soften.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk and stir again. Top with extra banana slices, peanut butter drizzle, or more chocolate chips if desired.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and easier mashing. Stir well before refrigerating to avoid peanut butter clumps. Adjust milk amount in the morning if oats are too thick. Chia seeds help thicken and add fiber but are optional. Can microwave for 90 seconds if you prefer warm oats. Store in fridge up to 3 days; do not freeze.
