Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats

Good morning everyone! I hope you have all had a lovely day so far. Just a little while ago, I posted a healthy vegan peanut butter chocolate chip overnight oats recipe. You guys loved it so much that I figured I should share another flavor that I have created and been loving lately.

The combination I am talking about here is peanut butter and banana. I personally love this flavor combination. I eat peanut butter and banana on toast, rice cakes, bagels, etc. all the time, and I also love the combination in my warm oatmeal bowls. So, I figured it would be just as tasty in some cold overnight oats (spoiler alert – I was right).

Let me tell you, the flavors are just as amazing in this overnight oats recipe. Now, let’s go ahead and dive into the simple list of ingredients you will need to make this healthy vegan peanut butter banana overnight oats recipe!

Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats – Ingredients

Quick Cook Oats – The quick cook oats in this recipe serve as the most important base. What I love about oats is that they are so tasty when combined with other add-ins, and they give me the energy I need to power through the day. They also sneak in some protein, absorb liquid, and achieve a super creamy consistency when soaked overnight in nut milk.
Powdered Peanut Butter – This recipe is loosely based on my peanut butter chocolate chip overnight oats recipe, so I stuck with powdered peanut butter to go into the overnight oat mixture. But don’t worry, we will be topping this oatmeal off with some classic creamy peanut butter before serving it in the morning! The powdered peanut butter adds a ton of flavor and a bit of sweetness to the oatmeal mixture. I used organic PBfit, which I highly recommend. It tastes great and it has a bit of sugar, which sweetens up this recipe quite nicely.
Chia Seeds – Chia seeds are one of my favorite superfoods. They sneak in protein, fiber, and when soaked in liquid, they achieve a gel-like consistency. The seeds help binds this recipe together. Chia seeds are an absolute necessity for my overnight oats recipes, so make sure you have them ready to go.
Ripe Banana – You will want a nice and ripe banana for this recipe to add natural sweetness. I mashed it up and then mixed it into my overnight oats. The banana in this recipe tastes so incredible when combined with the peanut butter flavor from the powdered peanut butter and creamy peanut butter. It truly is an amazing combination. The riper the banana, the better!
Cinnamon – The cinnamon adds some nice spice to the recipe. I personally love cinnamon, and I use it on a daily basis on top of my oatmeal, pancakes, peanut butter and banana toast, and even my coffee. Naturally, I had to add a bit to this recipe. It really does take the flavor of these overnight oats up a notch.
Nut Milk – For this recipe, I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk. This is my go-to for most of my sweet recipes. You can use any nut milk you have on hand, although I will say that the vanilla flavor adds a little something extra to the overnight oats. If you aren’t sure which one to get, that’s the one I recommend.
Pure Maple Syrup – The pure maple syrup adds extra sweetness to this recipe. A little bit goes a long way. Pure maple syrup has a really unique flavor, and it is one of my favorite sweeteners to use in many of my recipes.

What Jars Should I Use For Overnight Oats?

Now, let’s talk about jar options. Of course, you have to have something to keep your overnight oats in while they are “cooking” in the fridge overnight. And by cooking, I mean sitting, chilling, and thickening up. While you’re getting some much needed sleep, your oats are absorbing all those yummy flavors you filled your jar with.

I always like to store my oats in a closed container for optimal taste and freshness. I use glass mason jars that I can rinse out and reuse over and over again. I also sometimes use an almost empty peanut butter jar for a bit of extra flavor. Both are great options!
