This peanut butter banana oatmeal loaf combines everything you’d find in PB overnight oats into a loaf! The peanut butter adds protein, banana lightly sweetens everything and the oats fill you up!
Peanut butter isn’t something you find in my household very often because we aren’t nut butter fans. The fact that both brother deer and lil’ bun are slightly allergic to nuts compounds the fact that we don’t have nut butters at home very often.
But, old bean went away for work and we had a jar of peanut butter lying around so I decided to use it up by making this loaf.
Being a newbie at all things nut butter, I wasn’t too confident in making these and I thought they turned out pretty dry but lil’ bun actually liked them this way because she said that they taste amazing with milk since it moistens them back up.
Plus, it’s dense enough to resemble pound cake without all the added butter or shortening so talk about healthy alternative to (peanut butter flavored) pound cake!
