Peanut butter and banana are a marriage made in heaven in this vegan Peanut Butter Porridge with Banana. It's the ultimate comfort food!
Are you looking for an easy hot meal to warm you up this Winter? Well you've come to the right place. This Peanut Butter Porridge with Banana is perfect for curling up with a blanket and binging on Netflix.
Peanut butter and banana are one of those combinations that belong together, like maple and chipotle or raspberries and chocolate. This gluten free porridge will jump-start you for whatever you need to accomplish. It is packed with nutrients to fuel you for the day.
This vegan porridge comes together pretty quickly. I would advise keeping an eye on it and stirring it constantly. Since it has ground flax seeds, it is quite sticky and will stick to the sides of the pan.
Just think of that stickiness as added fiber and protein, and hopefully, it won't bother you as much when you are doing the dishes.
Banana adds sweetness along with a touch of maple syrup.

🧾 Ingredients
This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Rolled oats: I used gluten-free rolled oats
- Ground flaxseeds: Adds protein and fiber. You could leave it out.
- Almond milk: I used unsweetened almond milk because I like to control the amount of sugar. You could also use oat milk, soy milk, coconut milk or your favorite dairy-free milk.
- Banana: I used a ripe banana. You could also use a frozen banana.
- Peanut butter: I used creamy all natural peanut butter. The shelf stable variety would also work.
- Maple syrup: Adds a sweet maple flavor. You could also use agave syrup, brown sugar, dates, or your favorite sweetener.
- Salt: Enhances sweetness.
