A quick and easy no-fuss breakfast recipe featuring creamy overnight oats blended with peanut butter and ripe banana for a protein-rich, satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45 g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy milk)
  • 2 tablespoons (32 g) natural peanut butter (creamy, unsweetened)
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) cottage cheese (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Measure and combine 1/2 cup rolled oats and 1 teaspoon chia seeds in a jar or mixing bowl.
  2. Add 1/2 cup milk of choice and stir gently to combine.
  3. Mash 1 medium ripe banana with a fork until smooth; optionally blend with cottage cheese for creamier texture.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter and 2 tablespoons cottage cheese (if using), mixing well to avoid lumps.
  5. Add 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (if desired). Stir thoroughly.
  6. Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  7. In the morning, stir the oats well; add a splash of milk if too thick. Top with extra banana slices, peanut butter, or chopped nuts if desired.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. Blend cottage cheese for a silky texture. Adjust milk quantity for preferred thickness. Store in airtight containers up to 4 days. Microwave for 30-60 seconds to warm if desired.
