Ingredients

  • 1 medium banana, ripe, divided
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 cup rolled oats, old-fashioned
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup, or honey
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch kosher salt

Steps

  1. Mash half the banana in a medium bowl with a fork until mostly smooth.
  2. Add the peanut butter and stir it into the banana until combined.
  3. Add the oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds (if using), maple syrup, cinnamon and salt. Stir until no dry oats remain.
  4. Divide between 2 jars or containers and close the lids.
  5. Refrigerate overnight, or at least 6 hours, so the oats soften.
  6. In the morning, stir each jar. Add a splash of milk if it's thicker than you like.
  7. Slice the rest of the banana over the top and eat cold, or microwave 1 to 2 minutes if you like it warm.

Tip: For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter.

Tip: Stir the peanut butter into the banana first. It blends in smoothly instead of staying in clumps.

Storage: Refrigerate up to 3 days. Add the fresh banana slices just before eating so they don't brown.

Make ahead: Make up to 3 jars at a time for the work or school week.
