Description

Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal is a warm, creamy, and nutritious breakfast that combines the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with the rich, nutty flavor of peanut butter and hearty rolled oats. This easy-to-make dish provides a perfect balance of flavors and energy-boosting nutrients to keep you satisfied and energized throughout the morning.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1 to 1.5 cups milk or plant-based alternative
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional, for nutrient boost)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oats: Combine rolled oats and milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally as the oats absorb the liquid and soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Mash the Banana: While the oats cook, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth or leave it chunky, depending on your preference.
  3. Add Peanut Butter and Flavorings: Once the oats are creamy and cooked through, stir in the peanut butter, mashed banana, cinnamon, and optional sweetener, mixing well until everything is combined and heated through.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Pour your steaming Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal into a bowl and top with extra banana slices, a drizzle of peanut butter, or your favorite seeds and nuts for crunch.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and smooth texture.
  • Choose creamy peanut butter for a smooth mix, or chunky for extra crunch.
  • Cook oats on low heat to prevent sticking and ensure creaminess.
  • Adjust milk quantity based on your preferred oatmeal thickness.
  • Add toppings like seeds or nuts after cooking to maintain their texture.
