A creamy, nutritious overnight oats recipe combining peanut butter, ripe bananas, and dark chocolate for a quick, easy, and delicious breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3 tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large ripe banana (half mashed, half sliced)
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (unsweetened almond milk preferred, dairy milk optional)
  • 1/2 cup (120g) Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (45g) dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or higher)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Peel and mash half the banana in a mixing bowl using a fork until smooth but not watery (about 2 minutes).
  2. Add milk, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mashed banana. Whisk gently until well blended (about 1-2 minutes).
  3. Stir in rolled oats and chia seeds until thoroughly mixed (about 1 minute).
  4. Divide the mixture evenly into two 12-ounce (350ml) mason jars or airtight containers, leaving space at the top.
  5. Top each jar with sliced banana and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons (22g) dark chocolate chips.
  6. Seal jars tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  7. In the morning, stir the oats gently and serve chilled or warm in the microwave for 30-45 seconds if desired.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. Stir peanut butter thoroughly into wet ingredients to avoid clumps. Adjust maple syrup sweetness to taste. Dark chocolate with at least 70% cacao is recommended. For thicker oats in the morning, add a splash of milk and stir. Can be batch-prepped and stored up to 4 days in the fridge or frozen for up to a month.
