Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 2 cups (480ml) milk
  • 1 large (120g) overripe banana, mashed
  • 1/2 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 2 tbsp (32g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) maple syrup
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Mash the overripe banana in a microwave-safe bowl using a fork until it reaches a smooth paste. Stir in the cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract until well-combined.
  2. Add the rolled oats and milk to the banana mixture and stir well.
  3. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stir, and microwave for another 1-2 minutes until oats are plump and liquid is mostly absorbed.
  4. Remove from heat and let the oatmeal sit for 2 minutes to allow the texture to set.
  5. Fold in the creamy peanut butter and maple syrup, stirring gently until the mixture is velvety and smooth.
