My brain is already 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 each week 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.
Overnight Oats
Anyway, enough blubbering from this emotional mama, let’s talk overnight oats! Our family loves oats and I make some type of “oatmeal” every week: Baked Oatmeal, Oatmeal Cups or Overnight 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.”
Overnight Oats FAQ
You don’t need anything special to make these Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats, but here are a few tips and things you might find helpful!
Do you eat overnight oats hot or cold?
The quick and easy answer is there is no right or wrong way to eat oats! You can enjoy these overnight oats straight out of the fridge or you can warm them up a little bit in the microwave if you wish too!
How long do overnight oats keep?
Overnight oats can be stored in an airtight container for up to five days in the fridge.
The only thing is that they get softer the longer they sit, so just remember that!
What type of oats are best for overnight oats?
You can use either raw rolled oats or quick oats to make overnight oats.
The raw rolled oats will need to sit overnight to completely soften, but if you use quick oats the “overnight” part can be reduced to just 30 minutes of resting time!

Do you have to use mason jars?

Winnie says
Just made this! Wow so good. Never been one for overnight oats ( hate hot cereal) but these were sooo good! Is the calorie count you have for the whole recipe (3servings) or is it per serving. Thanks again, Winnie.
Julie Evink says
So glad you enjoyed them! The calorie count is figured if you make three of them so it’s for 1/3 of the recipe 🙂
cheryl says
Have you ever made these without the Chia seeds. I am moving to Guatemala and will have a difficult time finding Chia.
Allison Mattina says
Hi, Krystal. No, you can’t. Steel cut oats have to be cooked. They are thick and hard, and soaking them will not soften them enough. Rolled/old fashioned oats are processed to make them softer, they need to be used in this recipe.
Kelly says
Is the mixture pretty moist in the morning? I have tried making other versions of this and it is always so dry in morning.
Dana says
I just made the overnight oats last night! What a wonderful, tasty treat to wake up to in the morning! Thanks for sharing 🙂

So glad you enjoyed them Dana!
