Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (40g) rolled oats
- 1/2 cup skim milk (or your favorite milk substitute)
- 1/2 cup water
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 medium banana, sliced into thin pieces
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (Best. Vanilla. Ever.)
- 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp stevia
- 1 tbsp (17g) Naturally More Peanut Butter
Directions
In a medium size pan, heat the oats, milk, water, and salt over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to simmer, approximately 5-6 minutes, stir in the sliced banana. Continue to stir until the banana breaks down and the mixture thickens. Add the vanilla, cocoa powder, and stevia, and stir until incorporated.
I really like the texture and thickness that the banana adds. Once it cooks down, you don’t really have many banana chucks, but just a hint of banana bread type flavor throughout and thick, creamy oats. If you would prefer to omit the banana flavor, or reduce calories, you can definitely leave the banana out. This is more of a personal preference.
Pour oats into a serving bowl and top with peanut butter.

Oh My! This is an oatmeal concoction I must try out for myself. I cant get enough peanut butter.
JC – I too have a special place in my heart for all things peanut butter…
JOEY LOVES PEANUT BUTTER!!!!!
I love this one, I have this everyday for breakfast for the last month. The only difference is I add cottage cheese for extra protein.
