Here’s a tasty & sustaining breakfast – Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal!
It’s like a hug in a bowl— super filling, family-friendly, and oh-so-yummy.
Whether you’re after a hearty breakfast or just want to kickstart your day on a healthy note, this oatmeal’s got your back.
Ingredients
– 1/2 cup of oats
– 1 cup of almond milk (or your preferred nut milk)
– 1 tablespoon of maple syrup
– 1 tablespoon of peanut butter
– 1/2 ripe banana, chopped
Instructions
Prepare the Oatmeal
Begin by cooking the oats according to the instructions on the oatmeal packaging. Typically, you’ll need to bring the almond milk to a gentle simmer in a saucepan and stir in the oats. Cook them on medium heat while stirring occasionally until you achieve a creamy consistency. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes, but refer to your oatmeal package for precise instructions.
Add the Goodness
Once your oatmeal reaches the desired consistency, it’s time to elevate its flavor. Begin by drizzling a tablespoon of maple syrup over the oats. The natural sweetness of the syrup will complement the nutty undertones of the almond milk beautifully.
Next, dollop a generous spoonful of creamy peanut butter onto the oatmeal. The creamy, nutty spread not only adds richness but also a satisfying dose of protein and healthy fats.
Go Bananas
Finally, top your oatmeal creation with half of a chopped ripe banana. Bananas bring a natural sweetness and a pleasant texture contrast to the creamy oats. Plus, they’re packed with potassium and fiber, making this dish even more nutritious.
Storing Your Oatmeal
If you happen to have leftovers (though it’s hard to resist gobbling this up in one go!), you can store your oatmeal in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to two days. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, simply reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of almond milk to maintain its creamy texture.
