Gluten-free Overnight Oats with Banana, Peanut Butter & Seeds: Healthy Breakfast

Published 4 months ago

My creamy Overnight Oats are a go-to breakfast: gluten-free rolled oats, live natural yoghurt, peanut butter, banana, chia, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, and unsweetened rice milk. I sweeten them with agave syrup and finish with dark chocolate chips. They’re great for meal prep, a quick energy boost, or a balanced post-workout meal.

Why I Like this Recipe

This Overnight Oats recipe is one of my favourites because it’s simple, balanced, and full of nutrients to start the day right. It keeps me energised, is easy to customise, and honestly tastes like a healthy dessert. It’s perfect for busy mornings or prepping ahead for the week.

Tips and Variations

  • Swap peanut butter for almond butter to reduce saturated fat and add a subtle nutty flavour.
  • Add a scoop of protein powder for an extra post-workout boost.
  • Replace rice milk with oat or almond milk for creamier results.
  • Stir through grated apple for natural sweetness and added fibre.
  • For extra crunch, add chopped walnuts or pecans before serving.
  • Mix in a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warming taste.
  • For fruity freshness, top with seasonal berries right before eating.
  • Serve chilled straight from the fridge, or briefly warm for a softer, porridge-like texture.

Meal Storage

Keep the Overnight Oats in airtight jars in the fridge for up to three days. For the best texture, I add fresh fruit, nuts, and chocolate chips right before serving. If the oats get too thick, I just stir in a splash of rice milk.

Freezer tips

You can freeze Overnight Oats for up to one month for the best flavour and texture.

I leave out fresh fruit and crunchy toppings until serving, then thaw the oats overnight in the fridge. If needed, I stir in a splash of milk or yoghurt. It’s a handy way to prep for busy breakfasts.
