2. Warm Banana Peanut Butter Oat Bowl
Best for: cold mornings or when you want something warm.
You’ll need
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk or your preferred alternative
- 1 banana
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Make it
Cook the oats with the milk according to the oat package instructions.
Transfer them to a bowl and add sliced banana, peanut butter, chia seeds, and cinnamon.
If the oatmeal becomes thicker than you prefer, stir in a small amount of additional milk.
Change the texture
For creamier oatmeal, cook it a little longer with sufficient liquid.
If you prefer more texture, avoid cooking the oats until they completely lose their shape.
You can also mash half of the banana into the warm oatmeal and keep the remaining half sliced for the top.
