Best Protein Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats
Whip up these easy, healthy, and no-cook peanut butter banana overnight oats in just 5 minutes! A delicious, satisfying, and nutritious breakfast ready to grab and go.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups milk
- 2 ripe bananas
- 4 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tbsp honey optional
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed ripe bananas, 4 tablespoons of natural nut butter or peanut butter, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. If you prefer a sweeter taste, add 1 tablespoon of honey at this stage. Mix these ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined and form a cohesive, creamy base.
- Stir in the 2 cups of rolled oats into the banana-peanut butter mixture. Pour in the 2 cups of your milk of choice (such as 2% milk). Continue to stir vigorously until all the ingredients are well combined and the oats are fully submerged in the liquid. Ensure no dry clumps of oats remain at the bottom of the bowl.
- Evenly divide the oatmeal mixture into 4 individual mason jars or other airtight containers. Mason jars are ideal as they are portable and visually appealing. Ensure each container has a lid for proper storage.
- Securely cover each jar or container with its lid. Transfer them to the refrigerator and allow them to chill overnight, or for a minimum of 6 hours. This crucial step allows the oats to soften and absorb the liquid, creating that creamy, no-cook consistency.
- In the morning, remove a jar from the refrigerator. Give the oats a good stir to redistribute any ingredients that may have settled. Enjoy them chilled for a refreshing start to your day, or if you prefer, warm them slightly in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
