I meal prep a big batch of overnight oats every week, and this powdered peanut butter banana oats recipe is our favorite. They're super peanutty and the banana adds just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess -- no yogurt necessary. And they're absolutely delicious with a swirl of jelly and a drizzle of creamy peanut butter.

🥜Ingredients
See recipe card at the bottom of the post for the full list of ingredients and exact amounts.
- Ripe banana. For the best flavor and sweetness, use a very ripe banana with brown speckles on the peel.
- Powdered peanut butter. I use PBFit, but any kind will work. Different brands may absorb liquid differently, so you may need to add a splash of milk before serving.
- Milk. You can use any kind of dairy or dairy-free milk.
- Oats. I tested 4 types of oats and found that old-fashioned oats (rolled oats) and quick cooking steel cut oats worked the best. Regular steel-cut oats are also good, BUT they took 2 days to soften. Instant oats (quick oats) turned mushy after just 2 hours.
- Toppings. Top with your favorite flavor of jelly, fresh fruit, nuts, and nut or seed butter. We love blueberry jelly, bananas, blueberries, roasted peanuts, and melted peanut butter. And sometimes chocolate chips!
🍫Variations or Substitutions
- I find that the banana adds plenty of sweetness. But you can always add more with your sweetener of choice like honey or pure maple syrup.
- Instead of banana, stir in ½ cup of regular or Greek yogurt.
- For yummy chocolate peanut butter oats, add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder or chocolate protein powder to the oat mixture.
- Stir in two tablespoons of regular peanut butter in place of the powdered peanut butter.
🥣How to Make Banana Overnight Oats with Powdered Peanut Butter
Step 1: Mash one banana in a mason jar or resealable container.
Step 2: Add the powdered peanut butter, oats, milk, pinch of salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until combined.
Step 3: Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Step 4: Before serving, add a swirl of jelly and serve warm or cold. Top with fresh banana slices, fresh berries, chopped peanuts, and a drizzle of peanut butter.
👉Helpful Hint: To melt peanut butter, heat in the microwave in 10-second increments until soft enough to drizzle.
✅Top Tips
- For best results, use rolled oats or quick steel cut oats. Quick steel cut oats may need ¼ cup more milk -- check it before serving and add as necessary.
- If the peanut butter oats are too thick, pour in additional milk until to your desired consistency.
- For a warm breakfast, heat overnight oats in the microwave in 30-second increments until warmed through.
- If making individual portions of overnight oats, use a 12-16 ounce mason jar or container to allow plenty of room for stirring and toppings.
🎁Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
❓FAQ
Yes. Powdered peanut butter overnight oats can be eaten warm or cold. To heat them up, warm in the microwave in 30-second blasts until warmed through.
Yes. Quick cooking steel cut oats will soften within about 4 hours, but may need a little more milk, up to ¼ cup. Regular steel cut oats take up to 2 days to soften, but once they do, they have a lovely chewy texture.
No. Chia seeds are added to overnight oats as a thickener and to add fiber and protein. Mixing equal parts oats and milk with a mashed banana or ½ cup of Greek yogurt also creates thick and creamy overnight oats without chia seeds. Powdered peanut butter also thickens the oats.
