Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats
Description
The Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats recipe mixes rolled oats with mashed spotty banana, peanut butter, chia seeds, and almond milk in a sealed container. The mixture rests refrigerated for at least six hours or overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften, while the banana and peanut butter impart natural sweetness and creaminess. This method yields a dense, moist texture suitable for quick breakfasts or snacks. When ready to eat, toppings such as sliced bananas, berries, or extra peanut butter can be added to enhance flavor and texture variety. The recipe suggests alternatives for milk and nut butters to accommodate dietary preferences. The soaked oats maintain freshness for several days refrigerated, providing convenience and consistent taste.
Ingredients
- ½ cup milk I love unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- ½ banana mashed, spotty
- ½ cup rolled oats gluten-free if needed, old fashioned
- 2 tablespoon peanut butter crunchy or creamy, natural salted
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- peanut butter toppings, extra peanut butter or banana slices
- banana toppings, extra peanut butter or banana slices
Instructions
- Whisk together almond milk and mashed banana in a sealable mason jar or small container.
- Add in rolled oats, chia seeds, and peanut butter. Stir with a spoon until it is all combined. Make sure all oats are submerged in the almond milk.
- Place the lid on top of the jar or container to seal.
- Set in the refrigerator to soak overnight or for at least 6 hours and up to 5 days.
- When you’re ready to serve, add sliced banana, strawberries, blueberries, or any fruit on top. Drizzle honey or extra peanut butter. Enjoy chilled!
Notes
- Use any milk variety, such as almond, oat, skim, or 2%, based on preference or dietary needs.
- Select natural peanut butter without added sugar or palm oil; almond, cashew, or sunflower butter work as substitutes.
- Rolled oats are preferred for texture; quick oats soften more, while steel-cut oats are not recommended.
- Chia seeds can be replaced with flax seeds or hemp hearts, or omitted if desired.
- Refrigerate overnight oats and consume within 3-4 days for best freshness, ideally within two days.
