Ingredients for Banana Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

Oats: I used rolled oats here.

Yogurt: Adds such a great creamy texture and some protein. I used Two Good Vanilla yogurt, but you could also use a Greek yogurt, too.

Milk: I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk. You can use whatever you've got.

Protein Powder: I added a scoop of vanilla protein powder from iHeartMacros.

PBFit: This is powdered peanut butter. I like to use it because it's easy! You could use normal peanut butter, however. 

Banana: I recommend using a spotty one so it really sweetens these oats up!

Cinnamon: The perfect spice to pair with banana and also peanut butter...am I right?

How to quickly ripen bananas

I recommend using a ripe banana to bring as much sweetness as possible to your oats! If yours are still kind of green, don't worry. Here are some tips on how to quickly ripen your bananas:

1. If you have a day or two before you’re planning to bake, put your bananas in a brown paper bag overnight. Bananas naturally release ethylene as they ripen. The bag traps the ethylene, allowing the ripening process to happen faster. Adding an apple, pear, or avocado to the bag will also speed up the ripening process. 
   
2. If you need to ripen your bananas ASAP, you can also use your oven! Preheat to 350 degrees F and bake your bananas with the peel on for 20-30ish minutes until they’re browned and soft. Allow your bananas to cool in the fridge before peeling and using them in this recipe. 

Overnight Oats Q+A

How do I store these oats?
Keep them in the refrigerator until you're ready to eat. I wouldn't recommend storing them for more than 3 days.

Any tips for success?
You don’t have to make the PBfit before adding it to the oats, but I like to. It totally depends on your preferred texture, however.

Are these overnight oats good for meal prep? Can I freeze them?
Yes, they are GREAT for meal prep! However, I do not recommend freezing them.

Can I warm up overnight oats?
YES! I’ve always eaten them cold, but you can warm them. You may need to also add more milk for creaminess if you heat them in the microwave or on the stovetop.

Why should I make these overnight oats?
Because they're delicious and literally take less than 5 minutes to whip up! That’s about how much time people spend digging through their refrigerator thinking…ah, what should I make today, stan?
