Peanut butter and banana – a match made in heaven!
A combination adored and loved by so many! Today, on the blog I’m sharing my recipe for Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats. You’re going to love how quick and easy this gluten-free recipe is and how it can be made ahead of time to give you a little more breathing room for the morning “busy.” You’re also going to love that I’m sharing my recipe for Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats, too. When trying to decide which of these two recipes to share, a quick poll on Instagram resulted in an even split of interest and quickly persuaded me to share BOTH of the recipes on the same day. So here I am, sharing two of my favorite overnight oat recipes!

While overnight oats can be made with any kind of milk of choice, I personally like to add a fabulous boost of nutrition by making them with Kefir. Kefir is a dairy product that is sour in flavor, but don’t let that scare you off. Similar to yogurt, it’s a fermented food in the dairy family that contains 15-30 strains of healthy bacteria making it very rich and diverse in probiotics – even more than what is found in yogurt. Probiotics are great for immunity, gut health, bone health, and the list goes on. You can learn all about Kefir, what it is, and its benefits in our blog post, What Is Kefir?
Incorporating kefir into recipes is an easy way to sneak good nutrition and probiotics into your diet. Add banana, peanut butter, chia seeds and oats to the mix and you’ve got yourself one wholesome, satisfying and delicious breakfast.
Not to mention, high in fiber, too! Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats has everything you need to be satisfied and energized for hours. With 7 grams of fiber, 10 grams of fat and 12 grams of protein, it’s great for kids and adults!
Overnight oats will likely become a staple in my diet in just a few weeks when I become a first-time mom and learn the ropes of caring for a newborn! Taking just a few minutes to throw together, they’re nutrient-dense and so easy even my husband could whip up.
A make-ahead recipe and possibly a new household breakfast favorite.
Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats and Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats are to be prepared the night or day before to allow plenty of time for the oats to soak up the ingredients and all the flavors. I recommend enjoying the oats within 3 days of making them for best taste. You can enjoy them warm or cold depending on your personal preference or what your morning schedule allows time for, and you can top them as you please.
I suggest giving both of the overnight oats recipes a try! And if you do, I’d love for you to report back and share your favorite in the comments below! I’d have to say that I lean toward the Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats as my favorite. I’m a peanut butter lover, what can I say.
For a peanut-free option, make this recipe with almond or cashew butter. For a nut-free option, make with sunflower seed butter.

Anything with pb is amazing! Is kefir considered dairy? Also, do you heat up the oats in the morning or eat them cold? Any fave toppings?
Stacie Hassing says
Yes, milk Kefir is considered dairy. I eat them cold but you can certainly heat them up. My favorite toppings are shown in the photos. Enjoy!
Jessica says
What if I do t have kefir? Could I increase the amount of oats and a cup of coconut milk to make it thicker?
Jessica Beacom says
Hi Jessica,
You can just use coconut milk. Kefir isn’t all that thick – but if you want the oats thicker, you could add a few extra tablespoons.
Nicole says
Could you substitute a plain Greek yogurt for the Kefir?
Jessica Beacom says
Hi Nicole,
Greek yogurt may be a little thick since the texture of kefir is more like thin yogurt (or thick buttermilk) – but you could always add a little milk to thin it out if needed.
Chelsie Cryer says
This looks so delicious! I’ve done a recipe similar to this in the past; just water, mashed banana, oats and PB. But the kefir sounds like an amazing addition. I’ll have to try that!

This is excellent! I made a version with almond butter and added a tablespoon of cacao powder. I love how customizable overnight oats are. Love your recipes!
Stacie Hassing says
Awesome! So great to hear that!
Kristen says
I made these with the quick oats I had leftover from the no-bake PB crunch bars and some 2% to finish off what I had, and they’re great! I topped it with some chopped walnuts and ate it cold, but I think I’ll try them heated up tomorrow. Perfect for someone who works overnight like me!!
Lisa says
I made this yesterday and enjoyed it this morning for breakfast! Yum! So nice to have a quick, nutritious breakfast ready in the morning!
Stacie Hassing says
Hi Lisa! That’s so great to hear. I love overnight oats. So easy and so convenient for busy mornings.
