How to make the best Vegan Banana Peanutbutter Oatmeal
Oats – Any type of oats can be used for this recipe. Lately I have been using steel cut oats because they are healthier to have than regular rolled oats. But you can use quick oats and cook them according to the instructions on the package.
Spices – Cinnamon and cardamom are two of my favourite spices. They add warmth to the dish and come with a lot of health benefits. Not to forget they will add lots of flavour to your oatmeal!
Sweetener – Pure maple syrup or honey, brown sugar, coconut sugar or white sugar are a few options that you can choose from. I personally use honey majority of the time as it has miraculous healing properties.
Liquid – For the milk in this oatmeal recipe I have used almond milk. Feel free to use any flavour plant based milk that you like. I prefer using plant based milk as they are low in calories, fat and loaded with vitamins and minerals (more than dairy milk!), such as calcium, B-12, vitamin E and vitamin D.
Seeds and Nuts – The addition of nuts and seeds is completely optional. But many nuts and seeds contain a lot of protein, essential omegas that are healthy for your heart so adding a handful won’t do any harm. Instead it will add crunch to your oatmeal. I have used almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds and sunflower seeds.
Oatmeal is definitely my favourite go-to meal! It’s hearty, healthy and delicious!
Topping options
Dark chocolate chips
Shredded coconut
Jelly or jam
Dried fruit
Freshly cut fruit – bananas, pears, apples, berries are all good options
