This Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats is not just perfect to celebrate National Oatmeal Month in January, but all year long. Seriously, it’s so easy and so yummy!

PEANUT BUTTER BANANA OVERNIGHT OATS RECIPE 

In my plight to have the best of both worlds (sleeping in and having a better breakfast for my family), I came up with this recipe. 

I can make this easy oatmeal recipe the night before and keep it in the fridge. Then my husband or I can can grab it whenever we’re ready for breakfast. 

It’s fun trying out a new way to eat oatmeal, especially since it’s National Oatmeal month and we are all about celebrating fun and random January holidays whenever we can!

HOW TO MAKE OVERNIGHT OATS: 

Do you want to try this oatmeal recipe out? Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 cup Quaker Oats Old-Fashioned Oats available at Target 
• 1 large ripe banana
• 1 cup almond milk
• ¼ cup natural peanut butter
• 1 tsp. honey
• ½ tsp chia seeds
• 1 tsp. cinnamon (more or less to taste)

I found all the ingredients at Target!

 STEPS TO MAKE HEALTHY OVERNIGHT OATS 

Step 1

Using a fork or masher, mash the banana.

Step 2

Stir in the peanut butter. If you are using natural peanut butter like I did, you’ll have to stir hard to get it all mixed in.

Step 3 

Once the peanut butter and banana are mixed well, dump in all the rest of the ingredients. Stir for a few minutes until everything is mixed in completely.

Step 4

Pour the oatmeal mixture into a glass jar and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. You can also split it into 2 smaller jars if you want smaller portions. Place the peanut butter banana oatmeal into the refrigerator. Chill overnight (or at least 4 hours.) But I’ll be doing it overnight so I can sleep longer. 🙂

By the morning, it will be a thick, creamy, delicious oatmeal to eat right away! You are probably thinking, “cold oatmeal?” Yep. Trust me on this one. It’s way better than you think!

I love eating these oats with with extra bananas on top. Yummy!
