Recipes for overnight oats are all over Pinterest! 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!
Peanut Butter & Banana Overnight Oats
Prep!
Prepare these oats the night before you want to eat them for breakfast. You will need a mason jar or bowl, measuring cups and spoons, and all the ingredients except for the banana slices.
Create!
Mix the oats, flax seeds, and cinnamon in the mason jar or bowl. Add the milk and maple syrup and stir well. Drop in the peanut butter and mix it around just a little. Place the lid on the jar or cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
Present!
In the morning, remove the lid or plastic wrap. Top the oats with the banana slices. You can drizzle on some extra maple syrup and add a pinch of cinnamon to the top of the bananas as well!
