A quick, filling, and protein-packed overnight oats recipe combining oats, peanut butter, banana, and protein powder for a creamy, nutritious breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • ¾ cup (180ml) milk (dairy or plant-based, e.g., almond milk)
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mash one ripe banana in a medium bowl until smooth using a fork or small blender for extra creaminess.
  2. Stir in 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter with the mashed banana.
  3. Add ½ cup rolled oats, 1 scoop protein powder, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and a pinch of salt to the banana-peanut butter mixture. Stir until evenly combined.
  4. Pour in ¾ cup milk and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract if using. Stir well until no dry spots remain and mixture is thick but pourable.
  5. If desired, add 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness and mix again.
  6. Transfer the mixture into a mason jar or airtight container and seal tightly.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats and chia seeds to absorb liquid and flavors to meld.
  8. In the 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.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creamy texture. Chia seeds add thickness and fiber but can be adjusted for preferred consistency. Blend protein powder thoroughly with wet ingredients to avoid clumps. Prepare the night before for best texture. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days. Add milk to loosen if too thick in the morning.
