Banana Peanut Butter Oatmeal

Banana peanut butter oatmeal is a tasty breakfast option that combines ripe bananas, creamy peanut butter, and hearty oats. It's a quick and nutritious recipe that offers a satisfying blend of flavors and textures, perfect for a filling start to your day.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 cups (200g) old-fashioned oats
• 4 1/4 cups (1080ml) milk
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or to your taste)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 4 medium bananas (mashed with a fork)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Add oats, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and peanut butter into a medium/large pot.
2. 2Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring from time to time, until soft. At first, the oatmeal will be very runny but after adding the remaining ingredients and during cooling it will thicken significantly.
3. 3Remove the pot from the heat, add coconut oil, lemon juice, and mashed bananas. After a minute or so, your oatmeal should have a perfect creamy, thick, but still pourable consistency.
4. 4Pour your oatmeal into bowls and top with your favorite toppings (I like a drizzle of peanut butter mixed with maple syrup, 1-2 chopped cubes of bittersweet chocolate, and roasted and salted peanuts for crunch).
5. 5Enjoy!
