Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup water or milk
- 1 banana
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: rolled oats, water or milk, banana, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Place the rolled oats and liquid (water or milk) into a blender. Blend for 30-45 seconds until the oats are finely ground and create a smooth liquid consistency.
- Add the ripe banana to the blended oat mixture. The banana will provide natural sweetness and creamy texture.
- Pour in the peanut butter, which will add richness and protein to the oatmeal.
- Add honey or maple syrup for additional sweetness, adjusting to your taste preference.
- Include the vanilla extract to enhance the overall flavor profile of the blended oatmeal.
- Blend all ingredients together for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth and well incorporated.
- Pour the blended mixture into a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan.
- If using microwave: Heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through. If using stovetop: Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 3-5 minutes until desired thickness is reached.
- Let the blended oatmeal rest for 1-2 minutes to cool slightly and allow further thickening.
- Optional: Top with additional sliced banana, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
Tips
- Use Ripe Bananas: The riper the banana, the sweeter and creamier your oatmeal will be. Look for bananas with plenty of brown spots for the best flavor.
- Experiment with Liquids: Feel free to swap out water for different types of milk, such as almond, oat, or coconut milk, to add an extra layer of flavor.
- Adjust Sweetness: Depending on your preference, you can adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup. Start with a tablespoon and add more if desired.
- Blend Thoroughly: For the smoothest consistency, make sure to blend the oats and other ingredients for a full 1-2 minutes. This ensures no lumps remain.
- Microwave vs. Stovetop: Both methods work well, but the stovetop may give you a creamier texture. If using the microwave, stir halfway through to prevent overheating.
- Add Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Consider adding fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to enhance the flavor and texture.
- Make it Ahead: You can prepare the blended mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just reheat when you’re ready to enjoy!
