A quick, fuss-free, and delicious overnight oats recipe combining oats, peanut butter, banana, and cocoa powder for a creamy, chocolatey, and nutritious breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) rolled oats (old-fashioned preferred)
  • ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk or any milk of choice
  • 2 tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 small to medium ripe banana, sliced or mashed
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice one small to medium banana. Mash half of it to stir into the oats for extra creaminess, leaving the rest sliced for topping.
  2. In a mason jar or bowl, combine almond milk, peanut butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup or honey (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir or whisk until smooth and mostly dissolved.
  3. Add rolled oats and chia seeds (if using) to the mixture. Stir until evenly combined and all oats are submerged.
  4. Incorporate the mashed banana into the oat mixture, stirring gently. Reserve sliced banana for topping.
  5. Seal the jar or container and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow oats to soak and thicken.
  6. Before eating, stir the oats well. If too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of almond milk and stir again. Top with reserved banana slices and optional toppings like chopped nuts or extra peanut butter.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Warm peanut butter slightly if hard to blend. Soak oats at least 6 hours or overnight for creamy texture. Use ripe banana for natural sweetness and reduce added sweeteners accordingly. Store leftovers in fridge up to 3 days; add milk before serving if too thick. Freezing not recommended.
