Peanut Butter Banana Protein Oatmeal
This recipe is for the days that you need to be fueled and satisfied for a long time or for the person with a big appetite in the morning (join the club).
Foods high in protein take the body a bit longer to digest, making you feel fuller for longer. So if you tend to get particularly hungry soon after meals or snacks, consider reviewing your protein intake and ways to boost it. On the same note, having enough protein in the first part of the day can help alleviate afternoon cravings.
Okay, enough of the nutrition lesson, let’s get to the recipe.
Peanut Butter Banana Protein Oatmeal
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup oats can be quick oats, large flake oats or even oats ground up into a flour-like consistency
- 1/3 cup cottage cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp peanut butter* or almond butter
- 1/2 medium banana sliced
Additional topping suggestions:
- Berries
- Greek yogurt
- Flax seeds ground
- Milk
Instructions
- Over medium heat, warm up a frying pan and coat with cooking spray, 1 tsp coconut oil (gives a great flavour) or 1 tsp butter.
- In a small bowl, combine all ingredients except for the banana and mix well. Add this to the frying pan and spread out evenly. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the underside of the batter is lightly browned.
- With a spatula or flipper, flip the batter over to start cooking the other side. Break the batter up so that it is in chunks. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Scramble the batter once more to ensure everything is cooked through and then transfer to a serving bowl.
- Top with the sliced banana and any other preferred options. Sprinkle some ground flax seed on top for additional fibre. Enjoy!
Notes
*You can add the peanut butter directly into the batter or add it in at the end as a topping.
