Peanut Butter Banana Oats

Delicious stovetop cooked oats with creamy peanut butter and ripened bananas plus some seeds for an added nutrient boost.

I have a confession. I could eat oatmeal everyday. In fact I have eaten it for breakfast for 350 of the last 365 days. Oatmeal is truly as versatile as your imagination and potential combinations are endless. I’m not saying the Peanut Butter Banana Oats are my favorite but I will admit to eating these at least 300 of the aforementioned 350.
