Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats Recipes
Description
This recipe mixes unsweetened almond milk with chia seeds, pure maple syrup, and peanut butter before stirring in old-fashioned rolled oats. The mixture is refrigerated overnight, allowing the oats to absorb liquid and swell, producing a creamy texture without cooking. Chia seeds contribute a slight gel-like thickness as well as added fiber and nutrients. When ready to eat, the oats have a soft consistency with a hint of peanut butter flavor and gentle sweetness from maple syrup. Fresh banana slices add a refreshing fruit element and natural sweetness on top.
The simplicity of overnight soaking eliminates cooking and provides a quick breakfast option that can be prepared in advance. It can be served directly from the bowl or jar, making it portable and convenient for busy mornings.
Additional peanut butter can be stirred in at serving for extra creaminess, and extra syrup or honey may be drizzled for added sweetness, depending on preference.
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk I use unsweetened almond milk
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds

Instructions
