If I had to choose one overnight oats flavor to eat for the rest of my life, it would hands down be this peanut butter banana variation. I can’t even count the amount of times I’ve made them and the same goes for lots of you. I love eating them with a giant scoop of peanut butter on top with some sliced bananas. And, more recently, I’ve been adding a scoop of protein powder!

Variations for PB Banana Overnight Oats
- Add protein: If you’re hoping to fit more protein into your diet, go ahead and try adding around 2 tablespoons of your favorite protein powder or collagen.
- Use a different sweetener: feel free to swap the honey for maple syrup, agave, or even brown sugar.
- Swap the peanut butter: if you can’t do peanut butter, any kind of nut butter works. Try almond butter or cashew butter!

could you add protein powder to this for extra protein? i like protein heavy breakfasts
Yes, absolutely! You may need to adjust your liquid, but protein powder is a great idea.
Made this on a whim at 12:30 am so I’d have a good breakfast. I have non alcoholic liver disease and need healthy food choices and this recipe for the bill! I can’t wait to try it later this morning as I get the munchkins off to school. I totally sampled a few spoonfuls before sticking it in the fridge and I’m sure I’ll be dreaming of this!
<3 glad you loved it!
Can I do cows milk and regular plain yogurt or would that change the texture?
You absolutely can! It shouldn’t shift that much.
Yum! Made these last night for breakfast this morning and they are so good!!!
I was very apprehensive about overnight oats but when I made this recipe, I became obsessed and oh my there are just AMAZING! Taste so good and they are so filling too. I have them everyday for breakfast
I was super apprehensive about overnight oats but I decided to give this recipe a try and oh my it’s amazing! I cannot get enough! I make this every 2 days as the recipe is plenty for one person for two days worth of breakfast and they are so filling! My new favourite breakfast ?
Oh stupid phone – at first I thought this didn’t post and then it posted with just 2 stars! I was meant to give it 5 stars as per my reply below! Sorry!!
No worries 🙂 My phone does that all the time with commenting! <3
Thanks for the delicious and simple recipe. I topped it this morning with berries and it’s so good!
I am allergic to peanut butter. If I take it out will it taste just as good?
Hey Dajah! Just replace with another nut butter such as almond, cashew, or even sun butter!
I just made these and HOLYYYY they are good!! I’m sometimes iffy on overnight oats, particularly when they’re too liquidy. These were the perfect consistency and flavour! Now I’ll (happily) have to go back through your archives and make the many different versions 🙂
Also I forgot to rate – so here it is!
YAY!!! Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to how liquidy their OO are.
Do you have to use chia seeds? I haven’t any at home and really don’t want to spend the money.
You don’t have to! You will need to decrease the liquid a bit, though!
