This is the flavor combination that sells people on overnight oats. Mashed banana sweetens the base, peanut butter adds richness and protein, and a spoonful of yogurt gives it a thick, creamy texture that holds up for days. Everything goes into a bowl, rests in the fridge and is ready to eat cold the next morning. Topped with sliced banana and crunchy peanuts, it feels like dessert and works like a solid breakfast.
Instructions
- Mash the banana with the peanut butter in a bowl until mostly smooth. A few small lumps are fine.
- Stir in the milk, yogurt, maple syrup, cinnamon and salt. Add the oats and stir until evenly combined.
- Divide between two jars or bowls, cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
- In the morning, stir the oats and loosen with a splash of milk if they are too thick. Top with the sliced banana and chopped peanuts.
Tips
- Use a banana with brown spots. Green-tinged bananas taste starchy and do not blend smoothly into the oats.
- For a dairy-free version, use oat milk and coconut yogurt, and check that your peanut butter has no added milk solids.
