Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats

I mean, who doesn't love a peanut butter and banana moment?! It's a classic combination for a reason, and these overnight oats are the perfect solution to satisfying your craving first thing in the morning.

I've been sharing some recipe ideas for ripe bananas on my Instagram lately, including my No-Bake Trail Mix Bites and Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal - next up is this simple breakfast you can truly whip up in minutes.

Plus, you're not letting that lonesome ripe banana that's hanging out on your countertop go to waste!

I'm a biiiig overnight oats fan, as they're super filling and satisfying, plus there's just so many ways to mix it up in the flavor department.

If you're a fan like me, also give my Lemon Blueberry Overnight Oats, Creamy Coconut Overnight Oats, and Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats a try.

First you'll mix together the two most important ingredients - your mashed ripe banana and peanut butter. Together they provide the perfect amount of natural sweetness, creaminess, and flavor.

In addition to the rolled oats, I always love adding chia seeds to my overnight oats for more fiber, texture, and heart-healthy omega-3s.

Once you've let them sit up in the fridge overnight, top it all off with whatever you please - I love additional sliced bananas, peanut butter, and a scoop of yogurt.

Make them ahead of time to bring with you to work, school, you name it. Give me a shout if you give this one a try!
