Breakfast used to be my nemesis because I couldn’t please all of my kids! No matter what I tried, half would want pancakes, while the rest screamed for wafffles. Some would want blueberry muffins while the others begged for cinnamon. After spending way too much time trying to please everyone, I decided to try something different when our usual breakfast wasn’t available. I made this Banana Peanut Butter Oatmeal recipe as a “take it or leave it — this is what we have” breakfast AND, to my surprise, this simple oatmeal recipe is now their favorite!
…and it only takes me ten minutes!
10 Minute Banana Peanut Butter Oatmeal Recipe
Ingredients:
- 3 cups Water
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 cups Rolled Oats
- 3 Ripe Bananas
- 1/3 cup Peanut Butter
- 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 tbsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 cup Milk (optional)
- 1/4 Cup Peanut Butter, melted (optional)
- 1 Banana, Sliced (optional)
Directions:
Mash 3 ripe bananas. Set aside.
Combine 3 cups water and 1 cup milk in a large saucepan. Bring to boil. Stir in two cups rolled oats and reduce heat to medium for five minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
Add mashed bananas, 1/3 cup peanut butter, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 1 tbsp cinnamon to oats. Stir well. Reduce heat to low and simmer with the lid on for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Before serving add remaining 1/4 cup milk, if desired.
Serve with peanut butter drizzle and banana slices.
Multi-Cooker Banana Peanut Butter Oatmeal Instructions
Over the past year I have fallen deeply in love with my T-fal 10-In-1 Rice and Multicooker. Beyond making rice effortless and amazing, my mornings couldn’t get any easier either! All I need to do in order to prepare our Banana Peanut Butter Oatmeal is pour all ingredients into the Multicooker and stir. I select the “oatmeal” option from the menu and press “start”! That’s it! Ten minutes later when the buzzer sounds, my kids can walk over and make their own bowl of warm and sweet breakfast goodness.
I love a yummy breakfast that I don’t have to work at for hours!
