Peanut Butter and Banana – A Marriage Made in Heaven

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.

Or, as I drifted off into dreamland a little while ago, this porridge can get you ready for a day of being lazy and watching your favorite shows all day. That sounds like a perfect Sunday to me.

The Walking Dead is having a marathon today and tomorrow and it is calling my name! (I am writing this the day before the midseason premiere, so I am just a tad bit excited.)

Vegan Porridge

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.

Perfect For Camping

This is the perfect camping breakfast because it’s warm and hearty. I don’t know about you, but where I go camping, it’s usually cold in the mornings. There’s nothing better than a warm meal to start your day before going on a hike.

It’s also nice when that warm meal comes together quickly.

How To Make Porridge

Combine ground oats, ground flax seeds, and almond milk in a pan.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add in half the banana, mashing it as you add it.
Then add peanut butter, maple syrup, and salt. Cook for about 5-10 minutes.
Keep an eye on the porridge and stir it constantly.
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.
