Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned, not quick oats)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy; unsweetened recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: sliced bananas, chopped peanuts or other nuts, mini chocolate chips, extra peanut butter drizzle

Instructions

  1. Peel and mash the banana in a medium mixing bowl until mostly smooth.
  2. Add milk, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until peanut butter is mostly incorporated.
  3. Stir in rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Mix well so oats are fully coated and mixture is thick but pourable.
  4. Divide the mixture into 2 mason jars or airtight containers (about 1 cup each). Seal tightly.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until oats have absorbed the liquid and thickened.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats and add desired toppings such as sliced bananas, peanut butter drizzle, chopped peanuts, or mini chocolate chips. Enjoy cold or let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if preferred.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; quick oats get mushy. For vegan or gluten-free, use plant-based milk/yogurt and certified gluten-free oats. Adjust sweetness based on banana ripeness. If oats are too thick, add a splash of milk; if too thin, stir in more chia seeds and let sit. Add toppings just before serving for best texture. Oats keep in the fridge up to 5 days; freeze without toppings for up to 1 month.
