Peanut butter banana overnight oats recipes takes my two of my favorite ingredients and combines them into wholesome delicious high protein breakfast recipe. Quickly meal prep 3-5 jars on Sunday for breakfast all week.
Yes I am giving you another overnight oats recipe. I can’t help it I am obsessed. Overnight oats are so delicious and quickly becoming –next to green smoothies – my favorite breakfast. I put together an easy overnight oats guide to walk you through how to create your own recipes.
This past weekend I made a chocolate peanut butter overnight oats recipe that was AAAmazing, It was like dessert for breakfast only better because you don’t need to feel guilty after you eat it. With that recipe I used PB2, or powdered peanut butter, for the first time. I loved it. So now I have a jar of powdered peanut butter I get to experiment with. Only good things can happen my friends.
As I started to think about new recipes using PB2 powdered peanut butter I asked myself the scientific question, “Hmmmm, what else do I like to eat with peanut butter?” Immediately, I thought bananas. I love bananas and peanut butter together. It’s a snack I want to eat all the time but don’t cause it tends to be higher in calories and fat. However, PB2 allows me to enjoy these flavors without all the added fat and calories. So, peanut butter lovers, I give you a new overnight oats recipe…Banana Peanut Butter Overnight Oats. YAY!!
The final result of mixing together rolled oats, almond milk, ½ a banana, and peanut butter powder is a breakfast that tasted like a delicious banana pudding with a hint of peanut butter and a heartier texture. I added some peanuts for crunch. Scrumptious! Seriously, where have overnight oats been my whole life. I do want to point out that I did not add any pure maple syrup to this recipe like I have done with the others. I found the ripe bananas to add plenty of sweetness.
Add this to your overnight oats rotation. You will love it!
Here’s everything you need to make Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
Rolled oats – that’s the oats part of the recipe.
PB2 – if you can’t find powdered peanut butter in the store then grab it online at Amazon.
16 ounce mason jars – to store the overnight oats in.
Plastic mason jar lids – because the metal ones will rust at some point.

susan says
someone asked about using peanut butter and I never saw a response…….could you??
Tammy Kresge says
You can definitely stir in regular peanut butter. Stir it in when you wake up in the morning because the peanut butter will be easier to stir.
Hilary says
I followed the instructions, but the oats didn’t seem to absorb any of the liquid. It came out basically the same way it went in. Any ideas as to what I did wrong?
Ashley says
Did you use old fashioned oats or steel cut oats?
Tammy Kresge says
old fashion

I am a diabetic I need to know how much peanut butter to use. And can you use pkg of instant oatmeal, and how many pkgs to use for a pint jar.
Lauren A. says
All I have are steel cut oats. Would they still be okay to use in this recipe? Would it make much of a difference?
Tammy Kresge says
Personally, I haven’t had much luck with steel cut oats in this recipe. they never get soft enough. Let me know if it works for you.
Jarrett says
I’m not sure if this was already asked–but, can you substitute a peanut butter puree, for the powder? Or, just plain peanut butter?
