Hearty Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal

Hearty Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal

Ingredients

• 2 large ripe bananas, sliced
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup old fashioned oats
• 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon Anise seed
• 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter 
• ¾ cup skim milk
• 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
• Chopped pecans, optional

Preparation

Heat a pot over medium heat and add butter. When butter is melted, add the bananas and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes. Add the oats, Chia Seeds, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, Anise seed and salt. Mix well. Stir in the peanut butter and milk. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes then reduce heat to low and cook for an additional 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.

This made 2 hearty bowls of oatmeal and it is very feeling and packed full of protein. , so you could very easily feed 3 smaller appetites. I topped mine with chopped pecans. No sugar was needed.

You could use Almond butter instead of peanut butter and a different milk, if desired, such as coconut or almond milk.
