Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter
• 1 medium banana, sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
• 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
• 1 tablespoon chopped peanuts (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and unsweetened almond milk. Stir to mix ingredients together.

Step 2

Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and add the peanut butter, sliced banana, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the peanut butter is fully melted and incorporated, and the banana starts to soften.

Step 4

Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency.

Step 5

Taste the oatmeal and, if desired, add honey or maple syrup for additional sweetness. Stir in the chia seeds, if using, for extra texture and nutritional benefits.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove from heat and let the oatmeal sit for a minute to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Serve warm, garnished with chopped peanuts or additional banana slices if you prefer.
