My Classic Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal

This is my go-to oatmeal. Peanut butter and a mashed banana are added to the oats for a creamy and satisfying breakfast. It's as simple as that.

Notes

I use organic salted peanut butter. I find it adds a lot more flavor than natural peanut butter, but any peanut butter works.
