I have trained my children to adore oatmeal. I always make it with a bit of a twist to it, so they think it taste like cookie dough instead of porridge. My kids can’t get enough of this easy peanut butter banana overnight oatmeal recipe.
I make it often when they are sick. I would be lying if I said I only made it when they weren’t feeling well. We eat it often. I prepare it the night before and put a dollop of whipped cream and sliced bananas on top. They seem to think it’s a bit of a thrill to stir it themselves, so of course, I let them.
You can be as creative as you want with the sweetener and fruit which makes this recipe so versatile for any family.

As you can tell, we are big fans of oatmeal around our neck of the woods. Have you tried an overnight oatmeal like Peanut Butter Banana oatmeal before?
Pinning this! Looks and sounds so delicious. The picture doesn’t look like quick oats, it looks like old fashioned oats. Can you use substitute the old fashioned oats in place of the quick?
I don’t see why not. HTH.
Do you warm the oatmeal in the morning before adding banana & whip cream or do you eat it all cold ? I also love oatmeal but I’ve never had it cold !?!
Yes, you can heat it up. I usually bring it to work and eat it cold.
