Why this works

A simple mix of rolled oats, milk, and banana creates natural sweetness and creaminess. Honey adds a touch more sweetness, while peanut butter provides protein and fat to keep you full.

Make it your own

Tweak ingredients: swap dairy milk for plant milk, add or skip chocolate chips, or add extra cinnamon. Optional nuts add crunch.

Make-ahead tips

To prep overnight oats, combine dry ingredients and liquids, refrigerate, and stir before serving. Alternatively, portion into jars for quick microwaving.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine oats, milk, honey, peanut butter, mashed banana, and cinnamon in a bowl; stir until evenly mixed.
  2. Fold in chocolate chips and chopped nuts if using.
  3. Divide mixture between two microwave-safe bowls or jars.
  4. Microwave each bowl on high for 1 to 1½ minutes until heated through and slightly set, or refrigerate overnight for chilled oats.
  5. Stir briefly, taste and add extra honey or cinnamon if desired.
  6. Serve warm or cold, topped with extra banana slices, chocolate chips, or nuts.

FAQs

Can I cook this on the stovetop instead of microwave? Yes. Cook in a small pot over medium heat, stirring until creamy and heated through.
What if I don’t have peanut butter? Try almond butter or sunflower seed butter; adjust sweetness to taste.
How long does it keep in the fridge? Up to 1 day; best consumed within 24 hours for texture.
