What You’ll Need

Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post for the full printable recipe card with exact measurements and instructions. 

• Milk of choice – Helps soften the oats and creates the creamy base for the overnight oats.
• Creamy peanut butter – Adds richness, protein, and that classic peanut butter flavor that works perfectly with banana and chocolate.
• Banana – Naturally sweetens the oats while making everything extra creamy.
• Cocoa powder – Gives the oats that chocolatey flavor without needing melted chocolate.
• Salt – A small pinch helps balance the sweetness and makes the chocolate flavor pop more. Trust me, and don’t skip this!
• Maple syrup – Adds extra sweetness.
• Rolled oats – The base of the recipe that softens overnight into a creamy texture.
• Chia seeds – Help thicken the oats and add extra fiber and texture.

How To Make Chocolate Peanut Butter & Banana Overnight Oats

• Add the banana, maple syrup, milk, peanut butter, and salt to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

• Set out jars or containers with lids, then add the oats and chia seeds to each one.
• Pour the blended mixture evenly between the containers and stir well so everything is combined.

• Let the oats sit for about 10 minutes so the chia seeds can start thickening things up, then give everything another good stir.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 8 hours, until thick and creamy.

Serving Ideas

These overnight oats keep really well in the fridge for up to 4 days, which makes them perfect for meal prep breakfasts during busy weeks.

Serve them cold straight from the fridge or let them sit out for a few minutes first if you prefer a softer texture.

They’re really good topped with sliced bananas, fresh berries, chocolate shavings, chopped peanuts, toasted nuts, extra peanut butter, or a little granola for crunch.

Substitutes & Swaps

• Almond butter or cashew butter work well instead of peanut butter if you want to change it up.
• Honey can be used instead of maple syrup if that’s what you normally use to sweeten overnight oats.
• Any milk works – dairy milk, oat milk, almond milk, soy milk, or coconut milk all turn out great.
• Add a scoop of protein powder if you want to make the oats even more filling. Just be mindful that you might need to add a little extra liquid.
• Stir in mini chocolate chips or cacao nibs, if you like.
• If you like thicker overnight oats, add a little extra chia seed. For thinner oats, stir in a splash of milk before serving.
• Not a banana fan? Swap it for a little extra maple syrup and a spoonful of Greek yogurt for creaminess!
