They all look so good, that it simply became necessary for me to create my own recipe.
Mornings are very busy and this easy recipe for Peanut Butter and Banana Overnight Oats have definitely simplified them!
I use one of my favorite go-to flavor combinations to create this recipe. Peanut butter, bananas, maple, and cinnamon.
You can throw in some flax seeds, but they are totally optional. I have a huge container of them so I’m constantly trying to find new ways to use them. I do like the crunch they add to the oats.
One bite and I knew these oats were going to be a regular for breakfast around here. Both my kids love them as much as I do.
Thankfully, they are super simple to make. Because you prepare this recipe the night before, breakfast is practically ready when you wake up. All you need to do in the morning is add some fresh banana slices and you’re all set.
