PB2 fans, this one is for you! 

Adding PB2 as a topping to your morning bowl of oats is a wonderful way to use peanut butter powder to pack a little extra protein into your morning. 

We love oatmeal of all sorts, but this recipe stands out for its great taste and ability to make a protein-packed breakfast a delicious one. By using PB2 (or another similar product), you can get all the taste of regular peanut butter, but with more grams of protein. 

What is PB2?

PB2 is a peanut butter substitute, which comes in the form of fine powder. You can either use it in powder form or simply add extra liquid (such as water) to create a peanut-butter-like sauce that’s perfect for using anywhere you’d typically add peanut butter.

Where to find PB2

PB2 is often stocked at local grocery stores, but if you’re having a hard time finding it, it can also be purchased online from health food retailers or Amazon, depending on where you're shipping to. 

Before you shop, though, beware that PB2 can be more expensive than regular peanut butter. However, we have found that a jar of PB2 lasts a bit longer than actual peanut butter due to the fact you have to add water to achieve the same consistency. 

What you'll need

  • Oatmeal: use any oatmeal you prefer. Whether you reach for steel cut oats, instant oats, or pre-packaged oatmeal singles, you'll prepare your oats as usual - meaning that you can choose any variation you like best. 
  • Water: this recipe uses water to cook the oats. If you prefer a creamier oatmeal, you can swap it out for dairy or non-dairy milk. We especially love almond milk and coconut milk for this recipe! 
  • Sea salt: a pinch of salt adds depth to the flavour of oats, but you can leave it out if you'd like
  • Vanilla extract: Vanilla extract is not required, but it does add a nice hint of flavour to this delicious breakfast. 
  • PB2: PB2 (or any similar peanut powder) is essential for the peanut topping in this recipe. Mix it with water to create your own high-protein peanut butter substitute. 
  • Extra toppings: Optional extra toppings include banana, maple syrup, fresh strawberries, coconut sugar, chia seeds, mini chocolate chips. . . the possibilities are endless! 

FAQ

What does PB2 taste like?

When mixed with water, PB2 tastes almost exactly like peanut butter. It does lean a little more on the savoury side, but that’s fine if you don’t like super sweet peanut butter to begin with. 

Why choose PB2 instead of peanut butter?

PB2 is a higher-protein alternative to regular peanut butter. If you're hoping to reduce your fat/calorie intake, and incrase protein, PB2 might be a good option.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Oatmeal

  • ½ cup quick oats
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • ¼ - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

PB2 Topping

  • 1 tablespoon PB2
  • 1 tablespoon water

Extra Toppings (optional)

  • 1 medium banana (sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon cacao nibs
  • 1 tablespoon almonds
  • Drizzle maple syrup
  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Chia Seeds
  • Fruit (strawberries, fresh peaches, apple slices, etc.)
  • Greek yogurt

Instructions

Oatmeal

  1. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine oats, water, and sea salt.
  2. Cover (with a plate or lid). Microwave for 1-2 minutes until oats are thickened and creamy. Stir well, and set aside. If your oats are too runny, microwave longer in 30-second intervals. If oats are too dry, add an extra splash of milk and stir. 

PB2 Topping

  1. In a small bowl or cup, combine PB2 and 1 tablespoon of water. Mix well until desired consistency is reached. If the sauce is too thick, add more water. Add more PB2 if the sauce is too thin.
  2. Using a spoon or fork, drizzle the sauce over your oats.

Extra Toppings (optional)

  1. Cut up your fruit, drizzle your maple syrup, dollop on some yogurt, top with chocolate chips - or whatever else your heart desires!
