Ingredients
  • 6 cups Rolled Oats
  • 6 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 3 cups Greek Yogurt
  • 6 tablespoons Chia Seeds
  • 1.5 cups Peanut Butter
  • 0.75 cup Honey or Maple Syrup
  • 3 Bananas, mashed
  • 3 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • To taste Optional toppings: sliced bananas, chopped peanuts, chocolate chips

Get Started

In a very large bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, and chia seeds. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

Add Flavor

Add the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), mashed bananas, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

Portioning

Divide the oat mixture evenly into individual jars or containers. Alternatively, you can store the entire batch in a large airtight container.

Refrigerate

Seal the jars or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the oats to soften and the flavors to meld together.

Serve & Enjoy

Before serving, give the oats a good stir. Add your favorite toppings such as sliced bananas, chopped peanuts, or chocolate chips. Enjoy cold!

FAQ

  • Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?

    Rolled oats are recommended for the best texture, but quick oats can be used in a pinch. They will result in a softer, mushier texture.
  • How long do overnight oats last in the refrigerator?

    Overnight oats will last for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
  • Can I freeze overnight oats?

    Yes, you can freeze overnight oats. Store them in individual freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
  • Can I substitute the peanut butter with another nut butter?

    Absolutely! Almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter are all great alternatives.
