The Washington Post, January 16, 2008
- Course: Breakfast
- Features: Fast, Healthy, Kid-Friendly
Summary:
The banana and peanut butter flavors in this creamy oatmeal are quite subtle. It tastes even better the next day, so you might want to make a double batch and keep it in the refrigerator; reheat with a little extra milk.
2 to 3 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal (do not use quick-cooking or instant)
- 2 1/3 cups water
- Pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 banana, cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 1/3 cup low-fat milk
- 1/2 teaspoon unsalted butter
Directions:
Combine the oatmeal, water and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring, over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, until thickened and creamy. Add the peanut butter, banana, milk and butter; mix gently to combine. Cook for 1 minute. Divide among individual bowls and serve hot.
