An easy, no-bake Overnight Oats Recipe flavored with peanut butter, bananas and maple syrup (or your favorite mix-ins). The perfect make-ahead recipe for busy mornings.
My brain isalready slowly transitioning from summer to back to school mode. Here in Arizona school starts at the end of July (crazy, right?!). When you start to see make-ahead breakfasts and lunch box ideas on my blog you know I’m thinking about back to school. This year our youngest starts preschool, which means a couple mornings eachweek both of my kids will be at school. I’m not really sure how I feel about that. Happy? Relieved? Sad? Nostalgic? Yes, yes, yes and yes. I can’t believe we’re here already. It is so incredibly true that the days are long and the years are short.
Anyway, enough blubbering from this emotionalmama, let’s talk overnight oats! Our family loves oats and I make some type of “oatmeal” every week: Baked Oatmeal, Oatmeal Cups orOvernight Oats. The thing that’s great about this recipe is that there is no cooking involved. You just mix up the ingredients, let them sit in the fridge overnight, and breakfast is served.You can choose to heat your oats in the microwave right before serving (my preference), or you can eat them cold.
I absolutely love that these oats feature the combo of peanut butter and bananas; the flavors are so comforting and hearty. I usually add extra peanut butter to the oats right before serving because I love to see those thick swirls of peanut butter. It’s like they’re calling to me, “Grab a spoon, let’s get this day started.”

Any breakfast food that works as a vehicle to get peanut butter into my belly as early in the day as possible is a winner in my book. And this one goes beyond that- its a seriously delicious way to get PB in my belly! Loving this recipe!
