Oatmeal is very well-balanced nutritionally. Firstly, it is a good source of carbs and fiber, and contains a huge amount of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Regular use of oats helps to lower cholesterol, blood sugar levels and supports your gut health. Addition of bananas, dairy-free milk, peanut butter and flax seeds makes it more nutritious. As a result, you get a perfect breakfast that provides you with energy for the whole day.
The type of oats affects the texture you will get. By using quick instant oats we make the texture softer and creamier, a bit like oatmeal porridge or pudding. With old-fashioned oats we get a chewier consistency. It’s better to buy old-fashioned oats instead of instant ones. They are less processed, so contain a higher amount of fiber and are healthier. To keep this dish gluten-free, be sure to use gluten-free certified oats. Also, you can add more or less milk to adjust the consistency as you wish.
Let’s make these Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats and enjoy this amazingly delicious energy-boosting breakfast!
