Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats
This Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats is SO EASY! Creamy oats soaked in almond milk with peanut butter and banana for a delicious, grab-and-go breakfast.
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk dairy-free
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 ripe banana sliced
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup optional natural sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- a pinch salt
- chopped nuts or seeds for topping, optional
Instructions
- In your mixing bowl or mason jar, add 1 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir to evenly distribute the spices and salt throughout the oats.
- Pour in 2 cups of almond milk, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir vigorously to ensure the peanut butter is well incorporated into the milk and oats mixture.
- Slice a ripe banana and fold half of the slices into your oat mixture. Reserve the remaining slices for topping when serving.
- Cover the bowl or seal the jar and place it in the refrigerator. Let it soak for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soften and absorb the flavors.
- The next morning, give your oats a quick stir. Top with the remaining banana slices and sprinkle with chopped nuts or seeds if desired. This adds a delightful crunch and extra nutrients.
