A cozy, creamy oatmeal bowl blended with peanut butter, banana, and a hint of cinnamon, perfect for a simple and filling breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 cup milk or water (any milk works)
  • 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 medium banana, sliced (plus more for topping)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flax (optional, for fiber)
  • Toppings (choose any): extra peanut butter, sliced banana, berries, chopped peanuts, granola, cacao nibs or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Gather and measure all ingredients. Slice the banana and set toppings aside.
  2. Add oats, milk (or water), cinnamon, and a small pinch of salt to a small saucepan. Stir to combine.
  3. Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring often so the oats do not stick.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring, until thick and creamy, about 3–5 minutes.
  5. Turn off the heat. Stir in peanut butter, vanilla (if using), honey or maple, and half of the sliced banana (mash lightly to sweeten and thicken).
  6. If you prefer the microwave: combine oats, milk, cinnamon, and salt in a deep bowl. Microwave on High for 2–3 minutes, stirring halfway. Rest 1 minute, then stir in peanut butter, sweetener, vanilla, and banana.
  7. Spoon into a bowl. Top with extra banana, berries, chopped peanuts, a drizzle of peanut butter, or a splash of milk. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

For a thicker oatmeal, cook 1–2 minutes longer. Store in sealed containers up to 4 days in the fridge or freeze up to 3 months.
