PB&B Steel Cut Oats (peanut butter & banana)


This is the absolute best pre-workout breakfast. Especially on cold mornings like this morning.

Steel Cut oats are similar to regular oats they are just cut and not pressed and they have a nuttier flavor. You can find steel cut oats in bulk at your health food store(wholefoods, sprout's or central market). They normally take quite awhile to prepare but I found a shortcut :)

Shortcut to preparing Steel Cut Oats
place 1 cup of steel cut oats in pan with 3 cups of water. Cover and let soak overnight.
In the morning, place on the stove and let boil until thick. (about 15 minutes)

Banana & Peanut Butter Steel Cut Oats
1 C prepared steel cut oats
1 tsp organic peanut butter
1/2 of a 6-7" banana

Place banana in oats and smash with a fork.
Add peanut butter and stir until the peanut butter has melted.

grab a spoon and enjoy!
