Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
  • 1 3/4 cups milk of choice
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large banana sliced to serve with

Instructions

  • Place the oats, peanut butter, and cocoa powder in a saucepan. Add the milk, maple syrup and vanilla.
  • Place over medium heat and once bubbling, reduce the heat to a low.
  • Cook, stirring frequently, until thickened and creamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Allow the oatmeal to cool for a bit, then divide among bowls and garnish with sliced banana.

Notes

  • You may use quick oats but the consistency and cooking time change.
  • Any nut butter will work. Try almond or cashew butter if you do not have peanut butter.
  • Honey will work in place of maple syrup. You may also use agave.
  • You may totally skip the vanilla extract if you don't have any.
  • Any milk works. We used 2% but you can use plant-based milk like almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk, or cashew milk.
