Overnight Oatmeal with Peanut Butter

For mornings when I crave the deliciousness of my peanut butter pancakes and the convenience of a portable jar of creamy overnight oats, nothing can beat these peanut butter banana overnight oats.

After seeing my family devour these chocolate & PB overnight oats, I decided to give a swap and use that sad, ripe banana in the fridge to add natural sweetness and extra fiber to our oatmeal.

Ingredients

This breakfast is made with old-fashioned oats, a mashed ripe banana, peanut butter, milk, and a little vanilla for dessert flavor.

How to Make Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

Divide the ingredients between two jars. Stir to combine.
Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soak.
Enjoy the oatmeal cold from the fridge or warm it up a little in the microwave.

Old-fashioned oats (rolled oats) are the best for overnight oats since they hold their texture better. While quick oats also work, they soften much more, resulting in a creamier consistency that’s almost mushy.

Other Healthy Mix-Ins

Add more nutrition to your overnight oats with these tasty mix-in ideas:

Fresh fruit (½ cup) sliced or diced
Nuts, seeds, dried fruit: (1 teaspoon) for healthy fats
Flaxmeal, Chia, hemp seeds (½ - 1 teaspoon) add protein, fiber, and omegas
