Print Recipe

A creamy, no-cook breakfast that looks like pudding and tastes like dessert. Made with simple pantry ingredients, this kid-friendly recipe ends the morning oatmeal battle with a five-minute prep the night before.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole, 2%, oat, or almond)
  • 1/4 cup (64g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 medium ripe banana, mashed (about 1/2 cup or 120g)
  • 1–2 tablespoons (15-30ml) maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • For topping (optional): sliced banana, extra peanut butter, mini chocolate chips, granola

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until mostly smooth.
  2. Add milk, peanut butter, maple syrup or honey (if using), and vanilla extract. Whisk until peanut butter is fully incorporated.
  3. Stir in rolled oats, chia seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
  4. Divide the mixture evenly into 2-3 jars or containers with lids. Fill about three-quarters full.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats, add desired toppings, and serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

For picky eaters, let them add their own toppings. The oats keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. If you prefer warm oats, microwave for 30-45 seconds and stir well. Do not use instant or quick oats; rolled oats are essential for the best texture.
