A perfect make-ahead breakfast where your fridge does the work. Creamy peanut butter and sweet banana combine in a jar for a nostalgic, fueling morning meal ready when you are.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a 16-ounce jar or airtight container, mash the ripe banana with a fork until mostly smooth.
  2. Add the peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until a creamy paste forms.
  3. Add the rolled oats and chia seeds (if using). Stir to coat the oats in the banana mixture.
  4. Add the Greek yogurt and pour in the milk. Stir vigorously until everything is well combined and no dry pockets remain.
  5. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight (8+ hours).
  6. In the morning, stir the oats. Add a splash of milk if a looser consistency is desired. Top as desired and serve.

Notes

For best texture, use old-fashioned rolled oats, not quick oats. The mixture will look liquidy before chilling; this is normal. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and yogurt.
