Although I don’t have gluten intolerance,  I try to reduce the gluten intake at breakfast as I feel better.  I love eating gluten free overnight oats which are very filling and so easy to make. This recipe is perfect for anytime but especially for busy days. 

It is a simple recipe but very nutritious. You can mix the ingredients in a jar and take the jar to work.  No need to prepare breakfast in the morning.  Just mix the ingredients and your breakfast will be ready for the morning.

Usually, I divide the serving into 2 small jars and eat the second half during the day or the other day.   1 small serving is also very filling.

Let’s talk about a little bit about oatmeal and overnight oats,

The Benefits of Eating Oatmeal

  • Rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals
  • Lowers cholesterol
  • Good for heart
  • Regulates the blood pressure, lowers risk of hypertension
  • Great for dry, itchy skin
  • Lowers blood sugar levels

There are so many reasons why we should eat oatmeal.  You can read in detail at HealthLine about the benefits of oatmeal.

The Ingredients of Gluten Free Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats

  • Gluten Free Whole Grain Rolled Oats
  • Banana
  • Natural Peanut Butter
  • Cinnamon
  • Milk of Choice
  • Honey

If you don’t have natural peanut butter, you can easily make your healthy peanut butter.  You only need peanuts to make it 🙂

What Is The Ratio of Oats to Milk/Yogurt

Actually, there are different ratios.  If you are using cups it is usually 1:1 or 1:2 oats to milk.

As it is advised to eat ½ cups of oats a day, I will give my ratio for ½ cup oats:

For ½ cups oats,

I prefer either

                    ½ cups of milk for a  thick consistency. So it is 1:1   

or                ⅔ cups of milk for a lighter consistency.

I never use 1:2 ratio as it is too runny for me.

How to Make Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

It couldn’t be simpler.

I like the peanut swirl effect on jars/glasses.  So I take a little spatula or a knife and cover the sides of the jar with peanut butter.  This is totally optional but looks very good 🙂

Inside of the jar is covered with peanut butter.

Then I place the oats into a jar,  add the milk, cinnamon and honey.  I mix with a spoon.  Later, I add the peanut butter and give a stir again.  I close the lid and keep in the refrigerator.  Almost after 3-4 hours, it will be ready.   If you want to eat during the day as a healthy dessert alternative, you can make it in the morning and eat after 3-4 hours.

Placing oatmeal, milk, cinnamon, honey peanut butter into the jar.

When ready to eat, I top the oats with sliced bananas and additional peanut butter.

Below you can see how thick 1:1 ratio is.  If you find it thick,  you can use ⅔ cups of milk for ½ cup oats for a lighter consistency.
