The combination of old fashioned rolled oats, Greek yogurt, and creamy peanut butter, swept together with mashed banana, a dash of maple syrup and cinnamon, promises a delightful, healthy treat that keeps me ready for any busy morning ahead.

Mornings are always rushed for me so I lean on Peanut Butter and Banana Overnight Oats to save the day. I mix together 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats, 1/2 cup milk (you can use your favorite dairy or non-dairy), and 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt.

FAQ

Peanut Butter And Banana Overnight Oats Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• If you don’t have old fashioned rolled oats you could use quick oats, although they might make the texture a bit smoother than chunky
• If you’re out of your preferred milk, any nut milk like almond or coconut milk works great as a swap
• Instead of plain Greek yogurt, you can go with regular plain yogurt which is a little thinner but still tasty
• If you need a substitute for peanut butter, almond butter or sunflower seed butter are good alternatives
• When you run out of maple syrup, honey or agave nectar can be used in its place to add that natural sweetness

Pro Tips

1. Try to lightly toast your oats before mixing them together its a simple trick that really brings out a nuttier flavor.
2. If the mixture gets too thick in the fridge, just stir in a tad more milk in the morning until you get the consistency you like.
3. In the morning give everything a good stir a couple of times to make sure all the flavors come back together again.
4. Don’t be afraid to swap out the peanut butter for another nut butter if you ever want to mix it up, sometimes a tahini or almond butter can give it a fun twist.
