Step-by-Step

Step 1 – Choose your Jar: Start by choosing a clean and airtight container or a mason jar. This is where you’ll be preparing your overnight oats.

Step 2 – Add Oats: In the container, add 1/2 cup of rolled oats. Rolled oats are perfect for overnight oats because they soften and absorb flavors well.

Step 3 – Add Milk: Pour in 1/2 cup of almond milk (or any milk of your choice). Adjust the amount of milk to your preferred consistency; some like it thicker, while others prefer a runnier texture.

Step 4 – Add Peanut Butter: Next, add 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter. Peanut butter adds a rich and nutty flavor while providing you with a good dose of protein.

Step 5 – Add Banana: Mash a ripe banana and stir it into the mix. The natural sweetness and creaminess of the banana will make your oats taste like a treat.

Step 6 – Add Honey and Additional Ingredients: If you have a sweet tooth, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of honey. The honey not only adds sweetness but also complements the nutty flavors beautifully. You can customize your Creamy Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats by adding additional ingredients to suit your preferences. Here are some ideas: chia seeds, cinnamon, syrup, extra peanut butter.

Step 7 – Add Salt: Don’t forget a tiny pinch of salt to balance the sweetness and bring out all the flavors.

Step 8 – Mix, Seal, and Refrigerate: Stir all the ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined. Seal the container or mason jar, and refrigerate it overnight. The oats will absorb the flavors, soften, and be ready to enjoy in the morning.

Step 9 – Top and Enjoy: Now that your oats are done, top with banana slices, nuts, or anything else your heart desires! Remember to adjust the quantities of these additional ingredients to your personal taste preferences. Enjoy experimenting with different combinations to create a delicious and satisfying breakfast that suits your unique palate!
