Creamy Peanut Butter Oats
A high-calorie, energy-packed breakfast ready in minutes. Great for quick mornings.
This is a dense breakfast for busy mornings, higher-calorie needs, or pre-planned snacks. Oats and chia make it filling, peanut butter adds richness, and plant milk helps with creaminess.
You can cook it as porridge or prepare it as overnight oats. The base is flexible as long as you keep enough liquid and give the oats time to soften.

Ingredients
- 11/2 cup Rolled Oats
- 21 cup Plant Milk (Soy or Almond)
- 32 tbsp Peanut Butter
- 41 tbsp Chia Seeds
- 51 Banana, sliced
- 61 tsp Jaggery or Maple Syrup (optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a small pot, bring the plant milk to a gentle boil.
Soy milk gives more protein; almond milk is lighter. Use water plus a splash of plant milk if you want it less rich.
- 2
Add rolled oats and chia seeds. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until thick.
Chia thickens the oats as it sits. Add extra liquid if the pot becomes too thick.
- 3
Stir in the peanut butter and jaggery until well combined and creamy.
Add peanut butter after the oats soften so it blends smoothly instead of sticking to the pan.
- 4
Pour into a bowl and top with sliced bananas.
Banana adds sweetness and calories. Use apple, dates, raisins, or berries if banana is not available.
- 5
Serve immediately.
If making overnight oats, chill after mixing and eat cold or warmed the next morning.
Adjust calories and protein
- For fewer calories, use 1 tablespoon peanut butter and skip jaggery.

Flavor variations
