A simple breakfast recipe that is made the night before. Mix up your ingredients for this Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats and set them in the fridge all night for a simple and easy breakfast you can grab in the morning.
Easy breakfast is a must, especially when you are not a morning person. I love oatmeal and making it homemade with all my favorite toppings is the best.
I love these overnight oats because I can make everything the night before or even days before and have breakfast ready for me in the morning.
I like to microwave mine and add a little more milk in the morning but when I am in a rush I will just eat it cold and it’s delicious!
How to make Overnight Oats:
Overnight oats are very easy to make, and really good for you too!
They are high in fiber and protein. It is a great breakfast, and will keep you filled for a long time in the morning.
Ingredient Notes:
- Rolled Oats
- Banana (diced)
- Brown Sugar – you can use real brown sugar or a sugar replacement like swerve.
- Peanut Butter
- Milk – you can use any milk plant base or dairy.
Directions:
Step One: Add oats, sliced banana, brown sugar, and peanut butter into a mason jar in that order.
Step Two: Next pour milk into the mason jar and place the lid on.
Step Three: Shake well and place in the fridge overnight.
- Tip: Make sure it is shaken well, but not overtaken as to cause bubbles to build up in the jar.
Step Four: Eat right from the fridge in the morning or heat in the microwave. Add more milk as needed.
What is the difference between overnight oats and regular oats?
Overnight Oats are different from regular oats in how they are “cooked.” They are refrigerated overnight and the milk gets the oats ready to be eaten in the morning.
Soaking in the milk break down the starches in the oats and allows you to digest them easier. These oats still retain all the fibers, proteins and nutrients that would be lost in cooking the oats.

Hi Miriam,
My calorie counter pulls from a list that it is programmed with but what you use could change the calories. For example, if you use skim milk or almond milk instead of whole milk. I low fat peanut butter could really change the calories. Even different brand oats and these calories are just a starting point considering that everyone that makes this with different brands. I hope that helps and you enjoy the recipe.
