Ingredients

½ cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened almond milk

½ ripe banana, mashed, plus extra sliced for topping

1½ tablespoons natural peanut butter

Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Combine the oats, almond milk, mashed banana, and salt in a saucepan.

    2. Simmer over medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

      3. Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter until it fully melts into the oats.

        4. Top with sliced banana and a small drizzle of extra peanut butter.

          Notes

          The riper the banana, the sweeter this comes out. A banana with brown spots works better here than a firm, less ripe one.
