Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal could become your next favorite kind of breakfast. It’s very filling, energizing, delicious, and quick and easy to make.
This is a healthy oat breakfast full of fiber, calcium, protein, and potassium, and it would definitely be an improvement over the simple bread with butter, fruit-only, plain oatmeal, or any simple and nutrient-deficient breakfast that you could think of.
One of the things that makes this meal so attractive is that peanut butter and bananas go really well with each other! If you haven’t tried this combination, we highly recommend you give it a try, and this recipe would be a great start for that.
Ingredients
The ingredients for this recipe are very easy to come across, but the combination and the portions of all of them is what makes this meal a very special one:
- Goat milk – We like to use goat milk for our recipes instead of regular milk due to its well known benefits, but feel free to use the kind of milk that you prefer, or even your favorite non-dairy substitute.
- Oats – You could use quick or regular/old fashioned rolled oats. Just take into account that the stovetop cooking time for rolled oats will be around five minutes, while quick oats would take just under two minutes.
- Bananas – They ought to be mashed! The browner they are, the better!
- Chia seeds – For additional nutritional benefits and added flavor.
- Peanut butter – This could either be crunchy or creamy. It could even be home made peanut butter if you prefer. Almond butter or sunflower butter could be good replacements too.
- Vanilla extract / ground cinnamon / sea salt – These are the flavor giving ingredients of this recipe. We recommend you don’t skip them!
- Honey – You could decide to skip the honey if your bananas are too sweet or if you’d just rather not use it. We do use it in this recipe.

Note
- Old fashioned oats are best for this recipe, but you'd still should have good results with quick oats if you have a time constraint.
- Another tip would also be to make your own peanut butter at home, if you have the time. That way you can give the peanut butter the touch that you want to give it.
- The oatmeal will thicken up while it sits covered off the heat before stirring in the other ingredients.
- You could store a batch of peanut butter banana oatmeal in an airtight container in the fridge for no more than five days. For reheating, put one service inside a bowl and splash it with milk; heat in the microwave for a minute and stir it. Add more milk or heat it for additional time as needed.
