Description

There’s something wonderfully comforting about a warm bowl of oatmeal in the morning, especially when it comes with creamy peanut butter and sweet banana slices. This Banana Peanut Butter Protein Oatmeal takes that familiar breakfast and gives it a little more staying power, with plenty of protein and fiber to help keep you satisfied through the morning.

The oatmeal cooks up creamy and cozy, while mashed banana naturally sweetens the base. A swirl of peanut butter adds richness, and fresh banana slices on top make the whole bowl look as good as it tastes. It’s simple enough for a weekday morning and easy to portion into a container if breakfast needs to travel.

  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened milk of choice
  • 1/2 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 banana sliced, for topping
  • 1 teaspoon chopped walnuts or chia seeds, optional

    If you're taking breakfast to work, make the oatmeal the night before and store it in a covered container in the refrigerator. Add the banana slices just before eating so they stay fresh. A splash of milk when reheating brings the oatmeal right back to its creamy, cozy self.
