Oatmeal With Peanut Butter and Banana

Oatmeal has a justified reputation as a healthy staple of the breakfast table, but that doesn't make this humble grain infallible. Problem is, plain oats are too boring to eat on a regular basis, and flavored oats carry a bevy of excess sugars and other ingredients that don't belong in your breakfast bowl. So all of those instant oatmeal packets you think are a solid breakfast option are actually not doing anything to help your health out, and they could be doing more damage than you think. We solve both problems by using peanut butter and almonds to provide a rich base of healthy fats and bananas for natural sweetness and a shot of potassium. This is the kind of oatmeal you could—and should—eat 5 days a week. Oatmeal in its purest form has a ton of benefits that you don't want to miss out on. From helping to lower your LDL cholesterol (the bad kind of cholesterol) to actually being one of the best sources of resistant starch—the type of carb that helps you lose weight—oats should be eaten on the regular, in the right way, of course. We love this oatmeal with peanut butter and banana recipe for its good-for-you ingredients. It makes a healthy morning meal you can have ready in minutes.

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Turn the heat down to low and add the oatmeal and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until the oats are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid.

Step 2

Add the bananas, peanut butter, almonds, and agave syrup and stir to incorporate evenly. If the oatmeal is too thick, add a splash of milk.
