Peanut butter banana overnight oats in jars

Mornings are easier when breakfast is already made. Mix these before bed, and by the time the kettle boils they are thick, creamy and ready to eat from the jar.

Why the banana goes in twice

Half the banana is mashed into the oats, so it sweetens them overnight and you need less syrup. The other half goes on top in the morning so it stays fresh.

Method

  1. Mash half the banana in a bowl. Whisk in the milk, peanut butter, maple syrup and salt until smooth.

  3. In the morning, stir and loosen with a splash of milk if needed. Top with the sliced banana, peanuts and cinnamon.

The Pinch

Where to trust your instinct

The liquid. Oats vary, so if yours are stiff in the morning, stir in 2 to 3 tbsp of milk. Some people like it spoonable, some like it loose.

Cook's notes

For gluten-free, use oats that are certified gluten-free. Honey works instead of maple syrup if you are not keeping it vegan.

Make ahead

Make up to 3 days ahead and add the sliced banana just before eating.

Storage

Keeps for 3 days in the fridge, covered.
