This vegan peanut butter banana baked oatmeal is a perfect breakfast option for anyone who loves the combination of peanut butter and bananas. The dish is made by combining rolled oats, mashed overripe bananas, peanut butter, plant-based milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a baking powder in a baking dish. The mixture is then baked in the oven until the top is golden brown and the oats are cooked through.
The result is a warm and comforting breakfast that is filling and delicious. The peanut butter adds a rich and nutty flavor while the bananas bring a natural sweetness to the dish. The baked oatmeal is also a great source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, making it a nutritious start to your day. Serve it warm with a drizzle of melted peanut butter or scattering a fresh fruit.
What the difference between rolled oats, old-fashion oats and quick oats?
Rolled oats, old-fashioned oats, and quick oats are all made from whole oat groats, but they differ in how they are processed.
Rolled oats, also known as old-fashioned oats, are made by steaming and flattening whole oat groats with large rollers. This process helps retain the oat bran and germ, which contain most of the fiber and nutrients. Rolled oats take longer to cook than quick oats, but they have a chewier texture and are ideal for making oatmeal cookies, granola bars, and baked oatmeal.
Old-fashioned oats are the same as rolled oats, and the terms can be used interchangeably.
Quick oats, also known as instant oats, are made by cutting rolled oats into smaller pieces and then steaming them longer than rolled oats. This process allows them to cook faster than rolled oats, but it also removes some of the oat bran and germ, making them less nutritious. Quick oats have a softer texture than rolled oats and are perfect for making instant oatmeal, but they may not hold up as well in baked goods.
In summary, rolled oats or old-fashioned oats are a great choice for most recipes, including oatmeal, baked goods, and granola. Quick oats are a good option when you need oats to cook quickly, such as in instant oatmeal or microwave oatmeal.
