Creamy, satisfying overnight oats with peanut butter and banana that turn even a Tuesday into a cozy Saturday morning. This easy, no-cook recipe is perfect for busy weekdays or lazy weekends.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (for peanut butter swirl)
  • 1 large ripe banana
  • Extra banana slices for topping
  • Chopped peanuts (optional)
  • Dark chocolate chips (optional)
  • Extra drizzle of peanut butter (optional)
  • Sprinkle of chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana in a small bowl with a fork until mostly smooth with a few small chunks.
  2. In a separate bowl or directly in your jar, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined.
  3. Spoon half of the mashed banana into the bottom of each jar.
  4. Divide the oat mixture evenly between the two jars, pouring it over the banana layer. Gently stir to slightly incorporate the banana.
  5. In a small bowl, combine peanut butter and 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Microwave for 15 seconds or stir until smooth and drizzle-able.
  6. Spoon the peanut butter mixture over the top of each jar, then use a knife or skewer to gently swirl it through the oats.
  7. Seal the jars and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight (8-12 hours).
  8. In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, stir in a splash of milk. Top with fresh banana slices, extra peanut butter, and any other desired toppings. Serve cold or microwave for 30-45 seconds if desired.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; quick oats become mushy. Don’t skip the salt—it balances sweetness. For meal prep, store peanut butter swirl separately and add each morning to prevent hardening. Oats keep in fridge up to 4 days; do not freeze.
