Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Oat bran
- 2 cups Milk (any variety, such as dairy, almond, or oat)
- 1 Ripe banana
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
- Fresh fruit, like sliced banana or berries (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the oat bran, milk, cinnamon, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
While the oat bran is cooking, mash the ripe banana in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the mixture begins to thicken (about 5-7 minutes), stir in the mashed banana, peanut butter, and honey or maple syrup.
Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oat bran reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it rest for a minute before serving.
Divide the oat bran mixture between two bowls and top with your favorite add-ons, such as chopped nuts, sliced bananas, or fresh berries.
Serve warm and enjoy your Peanut Butter Banana Oat Bran!
