A quick and easy overnight oats recipe combining chocolate, peanut butter, and banana for a creamy, indulgent yet healthy breakfast.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana in a medium mixing bowl with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky (about 1-2 minutes).
  2. Stir in the peanut butter until fully combined with the banana.
  3. Add rolled oats, chocolate protein powder (or cocoa powder), chia seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir to mix well (about 30 seconds).
  4. Pour in the milk and maple syrup or honey (if using). Stir gently until evenly combined; mixture should be wet but thick enough to hold shape.
  5. Add vanilla extract and stir once more to incorporate.
  6. Spoon the mixture into a clean mason jar or airtight container and seal tightly.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats and chia seeds to soak and thicken.
  8. The next morning, stir the oats well. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Top with sliced banana, a drizzle of peanut butter, or chopped nuts if desired, then serve.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. Choose creamy peanut butter for smooth texture. Protein powder adds nutrition and flavor; cocoa powder is a good dairy-free alternative. Chia seeds thicken the oats and add fiber. Stir well before serving; add milk if too thick. Can be stored up to 3 days refrigerated. Variations include nut-free butters, seasonal fruit swaps, and extra protein additions.
