Treat yourself to a jar of these Almond Butter Overnight Oats, and you won’t go back to stove-top oatmeal for a while. It combines simple pantry staples into an ultra-convenient and delicious breakfast.
Sure, you can make oatmeal in the morning, but overnight oats have a thicker and heartier texture that makes them even tastier. Ready to give this a try?
Are Overnight Oats Healthy?

Ingredients
Here’s everything you need to make the best oats of your life!
- Honey: to sweeten the oats.
- Ground flax: thickens the mixture.
- Oats: old-fashioned oats work best for this recipe.
- Almond milk: adds moisture; you could also use regular dairy milk.
- Almond butter: adds healthy fats and delicious flavor.
- Bananas: a delicious combination with almond butter and honey.
Be sure to check the recipe card, at the end of the post, for the ingredient amounts.
How to Make Almond Butter Overnight Oats
What I love about this particular recipe is that there is no cooking required, just a quick assembly line of ingredients, and the refrigerator does the rest.
- Dry ingredients
Divide the flax, oats, and almond butter between 4 jars or bowls. - Mash a banana
Peel and mash one banana and divide it between the jars. Pour the milk over the oats and give everything a good stir. - Give it rest
Refrigerate the oats for at least 4 hours or overnight. - Finishing touches
Remove the jars from the fridge, heat up if desired, and top each serving with sliced banana and a good drizzle of honey.
As you can see from the steps above and the recipe video below, overnight oats are incredibly easy to make.
Can You Serve Them Warm?
Overnight oats can be enjoyed straight from the fridge or warm- whichever you prefer (or have time for). To reheat them, remove the jar or container lid and give the oats a quick warm in the microwave, about 30 seconds to a minute, before topping them with honey and the sliced banana.
How to Top Almond Butter Overnight Oats
Speaking of toppings, that’s one of the best parts of overnight oats, and I’ve got a kitchen-full of ideas!
- Strawberries – like my Strawberries & Cream Oats.
- Blueberries
- Diced peaches – definitely try my Creamy Peach Overnight Oats.
- Diced apples – the Apple Pie Overnight Oats are a favorite.
- Shredded coconut
- Chia seeds
- Greek yogurt- could also be mixed into the oats, like these Greek Yogurt Overnight Oats.
- Chocolate chips – be sure to try my Peanut Butter Chocolate Overnight Oats next!
- Cinnamon
This list could go on and on, but you get the idea.
How Long do Overnight Oats Last in the Fridge
This recipe for overnight oats will last in the fridge for 3 days; after that, the banana will get a little too mushy. However, overnight oats made without fruit can last up to 5 days- no wonder it’s the ultimate prep-ahead breakfast!
If you want this recipe to last longer, leave out the mashed banana and add extra slices over the top before enjoying.
Honey, Almond Butter, and Banana Overnight Oats
Ingredients

Suzanne
This looks so good! Can I prep multiple at a time?
Laura Fuentes
Absolutely! The recipe makes 4. You can make more for sure!
Rachel
We mainly use honey and syrup for sweetening in our house, so we go through a lot of honey. I buy it from a local farm so it is extra delish! I think my kids fave is probably your oven “fried” bananas recipe! I think hubby enjoys it most drizzled over plain ole’ Os cereal. My favorite honey uses are in homemade granola and homemade graham crackers… but that’s just at this moment. We ♡ it so many ways.
lisa franklin
a cup of tea or popcorn (plus cinnamon)
Amy
We have a beehive and love to drizzle honey on lots of things, from toast, to tea, to cheesecake, but my favorite way to use it is in homemade elderberry syrup. Keeps us healthy all year round.
Janine
I love using honey on toast and in smoothies. I actually also love it in my coffee!
Kim
Your recipe looks great. I love using honey in yogurt. So yummy!
CathyH
I usually use honey in my oatmeal. When I’m making something that requires sugar and I realize that I am out of it I never hesitate to use honey as a substitute to save me the drive to the grocery store for one item. I can’t wait to try your new to me recipe!!

mary cole
I start my day with honey in my (Cafe du Monde) coffee, and end my night with honey in a mug of warm milk with cardamom, yum!
Polly
My favorite way to use honey is in chex, or any other cereal bar. I mix honey with stevia sweetener, (to cut some of the sugar content) in a saucepan to boiling, then add nut butter and stir well before adding it to my cereal concoction. then I crush the mixture into a 9 by 12″ pan and cool it in the fridge. My son likes it when I melt chocolate chips on top! then after it’s cool, I cut it into bars and serve it for dessert! A must have in the freezer for a quick sweet treat!
Padma
We love to add some fruit and honey in plain yogurt rather than eating those store-bought sugar-loaded flavored yogurts.
Crystal Webb
My favorite way to use honey is in my tea, whether at a Tea Party with my little girls, a sweet 16 mother daughter Tea shared with friends, or given to me by my grandmother in tea when I was not feeling well as a child. Honey has always been there during those unforgettable moments.
Laura G.
Ah,yes, my husband is half Greek,so we’ve made many batches of baklava over the years! Currently, one child loves Apple’s with peanut butter and honey as a breakfast, and another just loves raw honey….on a spoon!

Love honey on sopapillas but it’s great for overnight oats, too!

I use honey to sweeten my tea and to make marinades but after looking at your recipe I can see that I’ve been short changing my family. I’m going to look at using it for more recipes from now on.
Lizzette
We Luv honey on oatmeal, tea, yogurt and granola! Yummz
Jane
For me not only is honey a natural sweetener but medication. I have had many stomach issues and for the last 2 months I have been drinking two tablespoons of honey in a cup of hot water. I do this before eating and drinking anything else. IT has really made a difference.
Faith
I like honey in my tea and with almond butter to give it some yummy sweetness.

This is pretty much our morning oatmeal recipe, but I’m excited to know I can prep this the night before (with less rush in the morning!) and it will taste just as great, if not better. Love what you do!
Debbie
This looks so yummy! Brie. That’s what I love to drizzle honey over!

As a kid, my favorite snack was “bread and butter and honey.” 🙂 Now that I can’t do that every day, I love to sweeten a nightly cup of almond milk with honey and cinnamon.
Heather
1 tsp mixed in with some plain Greek yogurt
Esther McGraw-Edwards
I and my family love honey. We use it for the over night oatmeal, in tea, as a snack on bread slices with peanut butter, as a substitute in many recipes, and in coffee. We also use it as a home remedy to relieve nausea. Simply mix honey with ginger and lemon juice and drink to counter act nausea.
Other ways I use it is as a moisture lotion. I mix raw honey with olive oil, a squeeze of lemon and lotion myself skin. it really helps to keep my skin soft.
The last thing I can think we use honey is for a soar throat relief. We mix honey with lemon essential oil and peppermint oil then drink it. This really is fast acting and feel so good when any of us have a soar throat.
HLK
I love honey drizzled on plain greek yogurt. Yum!
Kayla
What a great idea! Although I am happy to eat honey straight from the bear, I love to use a tiny bit in my smoothies. I use plain yogurt and fresh fruit and veggies. Sometimes we get a slightly tangy plain yogurt or a batch of blueberries that’s a little more sour then sweet. That little bit of honey can really help.
Marissa
Recipe looks great! This is probably not a common one, but I’m Latin and I love honey with fried yucca! Also with corn tortillas (not mexican style corn tortillas – these are more like pupusas or arepas)! Yummy!
Paola Chuakay
Since my daughter (and I myself too) loves every kind of homemade fresh smoothie, I’ve used just a bit of honey in our smoothies as a natural sweetener. The light sweetness surely makes a wholesome difference!
Mitzi Cline

We use it in hot beverages instead of sugar; we use it on our homemade yogurt – made weekly; we drizzle it over toast, English muffins and biscuits; we have even replaced the BBQ sauce with honey in many recipes. My favorite it to use it in hot teas. Will definitely try this overnight oats recipe. Thank you, Laura!
Chris
As a runner, I need an easy pre-race meal and my go-to meal is just toast with honey. Simple, tastes great, and easy to digest before a race. I also use it in my home-made granola and overnight oats as well.

OJ (for iron absorption)
and honey 🙂

Shelbi Evans
Hi, Laura! We put honey on about EVERY thing in our household… A quick and simple snack that I make for my daughter is greek yogurt, fruit, a little bit of granola with a drizzle of honey on top.

Tastes like a dream sickle but much better for you =)

While not a big oat fan this recipe sounds amazing! I will give it a try.
My favorite way to use honey, while not conventional, is on a peanut butter and honey sandwich (preferably on wheat bread), honey works with the peanut butter to give you a wonderful tasty treat! Try it for yourself! Along with a glass of ice cold milk, nothing is a better meal (I’ve even eaten it for breakfast!)

We go through so much honey in our house because my daughter is sensitive to sugar. I use it almost everyday as a sweetener.

Jasie
We love honey on plain yogurt and fresh berries.
Margaret Ledbetter
Love this oat recipe…but as I’m Scottish I should like my porridge huh! And I do!
As far as using honey…I use it like most of the others…but my favourite is to fool my grandkids with their smoothies! They are a 2 year old, and almost 4 and I can put spinach…kale…sweet potato etc. in their smoothies and then add some honey and they guzzle it down! As a babysitting grandma…4 days a week, I do give them junk food too, and they love getting into grandma’s dark chocolate…but it’s all okay! They are my loves…my girls!
Angie
Yum! My favorite way to use honey is to thinly slice a pear. Add a bit of blue cheese or other Sharp cheese, drizzle honey, and top with a walnut half. So yummy!

On sleepless nights I like to warm up some milk with honey. I tilt the pot and whisk to make some foam and sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on top. Puts me out like a baby. Also I love over night oats and can’t wait to try yours! I have tried it with Greek yogurt, honey, almond milk, and pumpkin purée. It’s good but sometimes I’m not in the mood for pumpkin.

Local honey, especially wildflower, is my favorite topping on pancakes. I drizzle it on a big dollop of Greek yogurt and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and pecans. It’s like eating cake with a thick creamy sweet icing. In general, honey is my favorite sweetner. It goes in my tea, on my morning yogurt, and in peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Your overnight oatmeal recipe sounds delightful. I can’t wait to try it!

Theresa O

Jodi Escalante
This recipe looks wonderful! I can’t wait to try it. I love honey in my oatmeal or drizzled on a lightly toasted slice of gluten free bread. I “catch” my son (4yrs) and my daughter (2yrs) sneaking honey from the tub and licking it off the spoon. :). Who can blame them when the honey is fresh and local?!
Megan
My favorite guilty pleasure is to make myself vanilla ice cream with graham crackers (or animal crackers), and a liberal drizzle of honey. It tastes just like the fried ice cream from Mexican restaurants. The semi-frozen honey is AMAZING.

I also give some to the kids when they have a sore throat.

How early can these be made ahead? How long will it last in the fridge? Thanks!

I’ve seen folks make up a large batch that lasts in the fridge for 3-4 days at least. Ours get eaten before then, but they do hold up well! If you like a bit more of a chewy texture you can use steel cut oats and they’d be less mushy as the days pass! (I usually do half rolled oats and half steel cut.)

Whenever the kids have a sore throat they ask for a simple but soothing honey-lemon tea. Squeeze a lemon into hot water, and then drizzle in the honey. Better than a cough drop!

This looks delish! My favorite way to drizzle honey is in my matcha latte!

Wow, this looks amazing! I love to drizzle honey in my matcha latte that I make at home!

We make homemade Cinnamon Glazed Popcorn and drizzling honey over boring popcorn is icing on the cake for movie night. The kids simply love it.

When my elementary school-age children go on school field trips they’re required to bring a nut free lunch since many of their peers have nut allergies. For these field trips we make banana honey sandwiches. You can either slice the bananas or mash them. You could even sprinkle a little cinnamon on there & your little one has a yummy lunch to look forward to eating.

Hi Laura 🙂
Honestly, my favorite thing to drizzle honey on is a warm sopapilla. Oh how I miss my days in South Texas!!!

I think that my favorite way to drizzle honey is over a simple buttered toast.
Tara

What’s the calories for one serving?
Laura Fuentes
Hi Kenz,
I don’t typically calculate the nutritional content for my recipes since I focus on real and fresh ingredients. You can, however, insert the ingredients in an online calorie calculator easily!

I am excited for breakfast tomorrow! 🙂 I love your recipes! I always have the ingredients! Most of the time I run straight to the kitchen after reading your blog posts. I usually make my oatmeal with honey for natural sweetener and I never thought to add to my overnight oats. Thank you Laura.
Laura Fuentes
Enjoy this recipe Tasha! I am so excited to hear that you nearly always have my ingredients on hand! Thank you!!

Do you have a break down of carbs, protien and calories for those of us on a restricted diet?
Laura Fuentes
Hi Brenda, check out the recipe. I’ve updated the ingredients to show the nutrition label. It calculates based on 2 teaspoons of honey, just a drizzle is all you need.

I love honey on almost everything! One of my favorites (and my son’s) is a peanut butter sandwich with sliced bananas and honey. I get complex carbs, protein, and simple carbs in one sandwich! When I was younger I used to make a version Grape Nuts cereal that was heated. You cook it in the microwave. You put Grapenuts in a bowl with milk and butter and honey and heat it for about 3 minutes. It makes this delicious porridge like dish that is comforting and soooo good!!
