    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.

    ❤️ Why You'll Love It

    • It's a hearty breakfast that will keep you satiated for hours.
    • It's easy to make and you can customize it to your liking.
    • It's warm and comforting.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Peanut Butter Banana Porridge ingredients on a cutting board with labels.
    • 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. I like to use sea salt.

    Step 4: Keep an eye on the porridge and stir it constantly.

    💭 Tips

    • Soak the pan right away, the porridge is quite sticky since it has flax seeds.
    • Taste as you go, you may want more or less peanut butter or maple syrup.
    • You may want more almond milk. I like my porridge thick, so the amount listed is a starting point.
    • Don't skip the salt. It brings out the sweetness of the other ingredients.

    🥡 Storage

    This peanut butter oatmeal porridge will last about 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge.

    ♨️ Reheating

    To reheat it, add a little bit of almond milk and reheat it in a pan on the stovetop or in the microwave. For reheating it in the microwave use a large bowl so that it doesn't boil over.

      If you ground the oats can I just use oat flour? I have a large bag of it.

        I do not like the texture of oats(apart from overnight oats) so i usually ground my oats first. It comes out so creamy.I promise it feels like the porridge is hugging you as you eat it:)
