Ingredients
- 60 g Rolled oats
- 1½ tbsp Peanut butter
- 150 ml Milk
- 1 tbsp Chia seeds
- ½ medium Banana
- 1 tsp Honey
Instructions
Mix everything
In a jar or container, combine oats, peanut butter, milk, chia seeds, and honey. Stir well until the peanut butter is evenly distributed.
Refrigerate
Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. The oats absorb the liquid and become thick and creamy.
Top and eat
In the morning, top with sliced banana and an extra drizzle of peanut butter. Stir if you like it mixed, or eat layered.
Recipe Notes & Tips
- — Stir the peanut butter in well — cold PB can clump. Warming it for 10 seconds helps.
- — Use a mason jar for easy transport and portion control.
- — Add chocolate chips and banana for a "PB&J" variation.
Variations
- Low-carb version: Reduce or swap the carb source for extra vegetables or cauliflower rice.
- Higher protein: Add an extra serving of protein or a side of Greek yogurt.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overcooking: Watch the timing carefully — overcooked ingredients lose texture and nutrients.
- Under-seasoning: Healthy food should still taste great. Don't skip the seasoning step.
How to Store
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.
What to Serve With This
- Side salad: A fresh green salad with lemon vinaigrette adds volume and vitamins.
- Water or herbal tea: Stay hydrated with a calorie-free beverage to complement this meal.

Can I use powdered peanut butter?
Yes. Mix powdered PB with water first, then add to the oats. It cuts calories and fat significantly while keeping the peanut butter flavor.
How long do PB overnight oats last?
Up to 4 days in the fridge without the banana topping. Add banana fresh each morning to prevent browning.
Are peanut butter overnight oats good for weight gain?
At 400 calories with healthy fats and complex carbs, yes. Add extra peanut butter, whole milk, or a scoop of protein powder to increase calories further.
