    Peanut Butter and Banana Protein Oats

    vegan peanut butter and banana protein oats

    These peanut butter and banana protein oats are a great breakfast for those moments when you feel like you need a little extra protein. 

    They’re super-simple to make, and require just a few ingredients. Jam-packed with 33 grams of protein, these oats will keep you full for hours!

    How to Make Protein Oats

    To make protein oats, you simply cook oatmeal as usual, and then add protein powder in. Adding a little bit of almond milk helps the protein blend smoothly, and the protein powder brings a great sweet flavour to the oats. 

    I like to cook my oats on the stovetop, but this would also work with microwaved oats. Just wait until the oats are at the desired consistency, then stir the protein powder in afterwards. 

    What Kind of Protein Powder Should I Use?

    The protein flavour does come through in this recipe, so make sure that you use a protein powder that you like the taste of. 

    I used a vanilla flavour, so that it would pair nicely with the banana and peanut butter. If you’re in need of a good tasting vegan protein, I recommend Macro Mike and Nuzest. Both taste good, and mix well in recipes like this! 

    Make It In a Dorm

    To make this recipe in a dorm room, simply cook the oats in the microwave, instead of on the stovetop.

    Add oats and water to a deep bowl, and microwave for 1 min 30 seconds. Remove, stir, and continue microwaving in 30 second intervals until desired consistency is reached. Top as per usual.

    What Should I Top My Protein Oats With?

    Top your protein oats with whatever you normally like on your oatmeal! I love the combination of peanut butter and banana, so that’s what I’ve gone for here. You could swap the fruit for something else, or even add on extra. This would taste great with a few berries thrown in!

    Instead of peanut butter, I used powdered peanut butter (PB2) in this recipe. I was out of regular peanut butter, but using PB2 instead also helped bolster the protein content quite a bit. 

    Enough talking, let's make some peanut butter and banana protein oats!

    Description

    This is a super-high protein vegan breakfast that will keep you full for hours. Add any other toppings you like to customise it yourself!


    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • ½ cup oats
    • 1 cup water
    • 1 scoop vegan protein powder (vanilla)
    • 1 banana (sliced)
    • 2 tbsp PB2 (mixed with water)

    Instructions

    1. Bring oats and water to a boil over medium-high heat in a small pot.
    2. Continue cooking until desired consistency is reached. Leave the a little on the water-y side, as they'll thicken when protein powder is added.
    3. Remove pot from heat, and stir in vegan protein powder. Add a splash of almond milk if the oats get too thick.
    4. Top with sliced banana and PB2 (mixed with water to create "peanut butter"). Enjoy!
