This oatmeal is so good and it’ll keep you full all morning long!
I had a couple of very ripe bananas that I needed to use. I wanted something quicker than banana bread but I still wanted it to be delicious.
That’s how I came up with this Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal.
How I kept this oatmeal low in points:
There is no added sugar in this oatmeal recipe. All of the sweetness comes from the banana.
Because of this, you want to make sure your banana is very ripe.
We’re talking lots of brown on the banana peel.
Instead of using regular peanut butter I used PB2 powder. It’s a great way to get the taste of peanut butter without all of the fat.
I also used plain, unsweetened almond milk instead of regular or skim milk.

How to make Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal:
I used a nonstick medium saucepan. I started by adding an overly ripe banana to the pan and using a fork to mash it.
Next, I added the rolled oats, PB2 powder, cinnamon, pinch of salt, water and plain, unsweetened almond milk.
Cook the oatmeal over medium heat for 7-10 minutes. Once the liquid has been absorbed by the oatmeal it’s ready to eat.
You can eat it as is or top it with banana slices, more PB2, or even some chocolate chips.
Oatmeal is a good source of fiber, which can help keep you full.
Bananas are high in resistant starch and potassium, which helps keep you full and gives you instant energy.
Overall this is a healthy and delicious recipe!
