Creamy peanut butter, ripe banana, and hearty oats come together for a simple, wholesome breakfast that practically makes itself overnight. No cooking required. Just stir everything together, refrigerate, and wake up to a satisfying jar of oats that’s ready to eat.
The natural sweetness of the banana blends with the nutty flavor of peanut butter (or use a different nut butter, if you prefer) for a delicious balance of flavor and texture. Top your oats with sliced banana, a drizzle of peanut butter, crushed nuts, or even a sprinkle of homemade granola for extra crunch.
Prepare one or several jars ahead of time to have breakfast ready for the week.
