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!
Topping Ideas
Don’t forget the toppings…it’s the best part! We went with more sliced bananas, a dollop of creamy peanut butter, and some chopped peanuts. Here are other ideas:
- Berries
- chocolate chips
- Fresh lemon zest
- Almond milk

I don’t like yogurt of any kind. What would be a good replacement?
Would adding flax to this recipe make a difference?
It would be delish! + Add protein and fiber. I’d start with adding 1 tbsp. of flax meal.
Yum! So nice to have ready in the fridge when I need a quick bite of something healthy any time of day.
Great recipe! I make it for my husband often. He only eats 1/2 of the recipe for breakfast, so I double up the recipe and it lasts for 4 days. I recently started making most of it in a Nutribullet blender and it is so much easier that way! Blend everything but the oats. I also add banana slices into it, since that is what the picture shows. Since I double-up on the recipe, I add a whole, sliced banana to the recipe. I’ve done it with whole milk, almond milk, and oat milk (what we have on hand tbh). My husband hasn’t noticed any real difference, so use whatever milk you prefer!
Can this be heated in the microwave or stove top in the morning? First time trying an overnight oats recipe 🙂
They definitely can if you prefer your overnight oats served warm!
Thank you. Absolutely loved this recipe. A bit too much cinnamon for my taste but otherwise perfect. Made it to your exact measurements & definitely have leftovers for a couple of days.
I love this recipe. I made it just as you’ve written it and it’s delicious!
Wahoo!
Too much cinnamon, otherwise good recipe
Easy to make and prep for a week of lunches, and tastes great! I add a 1/4 cup of dried cranberries to it as well. I am only confused about what size the nutritional facts are based on… it states 1/2 a serving size? What’s the measurement?
I am new to overnight oats. I have tried several and this my favourite. Awesome overnight oats!!!
Yay! So happy you enjoyed them, Karen!
