This creamy peanut butter banana overnight oats recipe takes five minutes to prep and delivers a pudding-like texture that feels indulgent without being heavy. Perfect for busy mornings, it uses simple ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed (about ½ cup or 120g)
  • ¼ cup (65g) creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup (180ml) milk (any kind)
  • ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana: Peel the banana and place it in a medium bowl or directly in your jar. Use a fork to mash it until smooth, mostly liquid with a few small lumps.
  2. Add the wet ingredients: To the mashed banana, add the peanut butter, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir well with a spoon or whisk until the peanut butter is fully incorporated, about 30 seconds.
  3. Mix in the dry ingredients: Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and salt. Stir until everything is evenly combined. The mixture will look thin—this is normal.
  4. Taste and adjust: Check sweetness and peanut butter flavor. Add more maple syrup or peanut butter if desired.
  5. Transfer to container: Pour the mixture into a mason jar or airtight container, leaving about an inch of space at the top for toppings.
  6. Refrigerate: Put the lid on tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  7. Serve the next morning: Take the jar out of the fridge and stir well. The texture should be thick and creamy. If too thick, stir in a splash of milk.
  8. Add toppings: Top with sliced banana, a drizzle of peanut butter, cinnamon, or other desired toppings. Eat cold or microwave for 30-45 seconds if preferred warm.

Notes

Mash the banana thoroughly for even sweetness. Use room temperature ingredients to prevent peanut butter from seizing. Don’t overdo the liquid—stick to the ¾ cup milk to 1 cup oats ratio. Let the oats rest at least 4 hours, but 8 hours is ideal. Stir before eating to redistribute chia seeds. Batch prep for up to 5 days, but add toppings fresh. For a warm version, microwave for 30-45 seconds.
