Gourmet Peanut Butter and Banana Oatmeal with Spiced Maple Drizzle

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup ROBIN HOOD Quick Oats
• 2 tablespoons (natural, if possible) Kraft Peanut Butter
• 1/2, sliced (slightly ripe) Banana
• 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
• 1 cup Almond Milk (unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup (Grade A)
• 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
• to taste Pinch of Sea Salt

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, toast Robin Hood Quick Oats over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant. This enhances the nutty flavor.
2. Add almond milk and a pinch of sea salt to the toasted oats. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until creamy.
3. Stir in Kraft Peanut Butter until fully melted and incorporated. The natural peanut butter will offer a richer flavor.
4. Pour oatmeal into a bowl. Arrange banana slices attractively on top, and sprinkle with chia seeds.
5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together maple syrup and cinnamon. Drizzle this spiced maple mixture over the oatmeal.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
7. Rationale: Toasting the oats provides a deeper flavor. Using almond milk instead of regular milk adds a subtle nutty flavor. Natural peanut butter contributes a richer, more wholesome taste. The spiced maple drizzle elevates the sweetness and adds warmth. A pinch of sea salt balances the sweetness and enhances all flavors. Using a slightly ripe banana provides more natural sweetness.
