These quick peanut butter banana overnight oats take about five minutes to throw together, use simple ingredients you likely have on hand, and keep you full until lunch without any fuss. They’re creamy, satisfying, and perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (any kind)
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth with a few small lumps.
  2. Add the milk, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the peanut butter is mostly incorporated.
  3. Stir in the rolled oats and chia seeds (if using) until evenly combined. The mixture will look thin and soupy.
  4. Taste and add maple syrup or honey if desired.
  5. Divide the mixture evenly between two jars or airtight containers, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
  6. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight (8-12 hours).
  7. In the morning, stir well. If too thick, add a splash of milk. Add toppings like sliced banana, extra peanut butter, chopped nuts, or cinnamon. Serve cold or microwave for 30-45 seconds if desired.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; steel-cut won’t soften enough and instant will turn mushy. Mash banana thoroughly to avoid cold chunks. Don’t overdo peanut butter—2 tablespoons is the sweet spot. Let oats sit at least 6 hours, but overnight is best. Stir before serving to distribute creamy goodness evenly. Keeps in fridge up to 4 days; gets creamier on day 2. For warm oats, microwave 30-45 seconds, stirring halfway.
