Print Recipe

A no-cook, creamy overnight oats recipe that’s perfect for busy school mornings. Made with simple ingredients like bananas, peanut butter, and oats, it’s a kid-friendly breakfast or lunchbox treat that comes together in just 5 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed
  • 3 tablespoons (48g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mash the banana with a fork until smooth with a few small lumps.
  2. Add the peanut butter, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the same bowl. Whisk until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Stir in the rolled oats, chia seeds (if using), and cinnamon until evenly combined.
  4. Divide the mixture into mason jars or airtight containers, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
  5. Seal the jars tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. Serve cold or at room temperature. Stir before serving and add a splash of milk if too thick. Top with sliced banana, a drizzle of peanut butter, or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.

Notes

For best results, use old-fashioned rolled oats (not instant or steel-cut). The riper the banana, the sweeter the oats. If using a thinner milk like almond, add 2 extra tablespoons of oats. For nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and add an extra tablespoon of oats. Oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Do not freeze.
