Today’s post is a short one–but my breakfast was too good not to share immediately.
I’d been eyeing this breakfast (and this and this one!) and today tried a version of my own. As I said yesterday, why reinvent the wheel when there are so many amazing recipes out there?
So what is it? Coined a “dough boy” by its creator Kath, it’s essentially overnight oats blended into a smoothie, creating a dough-like texture.
Smoothie meets overnight oats? I’m in.
I love my green monster overnight oats–but have never thought to blend the oats. Some people are so creative.
Add in some peanut butter and banana? Uh, heaven.
Here’s what I did.
Smooth Operator: Peanut Butter Banana Breakfast Bowl
Adapted from Kath Eats Real Food
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup nondairy milk + 1/4 cup more
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 Tbs flaxseed, ground
- 1 Tbs hemp seeds (optional)
- 2 heaping Tbs peanut flour
- 1 tsp nutritional yeast (optional)
- dash of cinnamon
- pinch of sea salt
- bit of vanilla
- peanut butter and banana to top
DIRECTIONS:
1. Blend everything (except for 1/4 cup of the milk and the pb and banana for topping) in a food processor (or blender) until smooth.
2. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
3. In the morning, blend again with the 1/4 cup of milk. Top with peanut butter and banana slices and devour.
Voluminous. Light, yet filling. Yummy.
If you love peanut butter and banana, make this.
Smoothie with a spoon. Swoon.
Now the blob of peanut butter can be blended in, of course, but I love my nut butter on top so I can have a lot in my last bite. 
Do you stir nut butter into your breakfast or keep a blob on top?
Blob on top all the way!
Love that bowl and so happy to see it filled with a smoathie. (Oats + smoothie)
haha love that term!
ahhYUMMM! NO NO NO BLOB ALL THE WAY!
Agreed!
Interesting.. I’ll have to try that. Nutritional yeast? I always thought of that as a cheesey thing.
It is, BUT it works really well with nut butters somehow. Strange, I know. It adds a complexity of flavor, a little savory-meets-sweet. I’m a fan
Sounds great! I love peanut butter for breakfast. And I’ve never heard of blending oats…very interesting!
I hadn’t either! It would have never occured to me to try. But it did add a nice texture to the smoothie thing, so I’ll definitely be doing it again. Not every day, because it involves a equipment and most mornings I just don’t have the energy ha, but a once in a while treat
Blobs on top for sure!! I once made the mistake of mixing the nut butter into the smoothie and you couldn’t even taste it! Sad.
ha that is sad!! I’m glad you learned your lesson
i very lightly stir it in so i get a bit throughout:)
ooh, i like that method
Love the big bowl of blended oats. I’ve seen it of Kath’s blog but I’ve never made it bc I don’t think it’ll fill my tank up
It’s surprisingly filling! But, I hear ya; sometimes you need solid food that takes a while to eat to actually fill you up. And, truthfully, my regular oats make me more full than this… Good think I like snacks
I LOVVVE this texture of food
Me too!! It’s amazing!
don’t you just LOVE the dough boy oats? I just tried them yesterday for the first time and again today….sooooooo good!! And I’m all for the blob – the mixed in peanut butter taste is what the peanut flour is for.
The blob on top is glorious and much needed 
Totally! I’m sold. And well said on the blob – it is glorious
