    Banana and peanut butter overnight oats - just the thing for a busy morning! A couple of minutes' effort the night before, and you've got a grab-and-go breakfast for the next morning. They're super easy, they're super tasty, and they're healthy too! Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free.

    Here's a super quick recipe - banana and peanut butter overnight oats! Have you ever had overnight oats? They're a huge trend at the moment, and while I'm jumping on food trend bandwagons, I thought I'd give them a try. I do like to see what all the fuss is about with these things.

    Turns out, I'm a fan! (really, there are very few foods that I'm not a fan of...)

    If you're not familiar with overnight oats, they're so-called because they're left to soak in milk overnight. It softens the oats right up and gives a porridge-like consistency - you'd never believe that the oats haven't been cooked. Overnight oats are eaten cold, so it's a different experience to eating porridge (look at me talking about oats as an experience, I've become one of those people) - it makes a really nice change.

    You can add whatever flavours you fancy - fruit, nuts, maple syrup or honey, chocolate spread, seeds... I went for banana and peanut butter overnight oats, since PB+B is undoubtedly one of the best combinations ever (none of this PB+J rubbish), and it seemed a good place to start.

    These banana and peanut butter overnight oats are the perfect make-ahead breakfast for people who don't have much time for faffing in the mornings. 2 or 3 minutes of effort the night before, then in the morning you can grab the tub straight from the fridge and you're all set - much quicker than cooking up porridge. They can even be eaten on the go if you're running late. Which I usually am.

    Hi, I'm Becca! I've been a vegetarian for 20+ years, and unlike most of my other childhood pursuits, I actually stuck with it! I love cooking vegetarian food that's full of flavour, but doesn't take a lot of effort to make.
