Elvis Protein Oats (Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Banana Protein Oats)
Cooked Oats, Roasted Bananas

 

I have always been a fan of anything chocolate, peanut butter, banana! Elvis, whose birthday just happens to be today, has a famous sandwich that has been made into many things that is peanut butter, banana, and bacon but since I am not a fan of bacon and don’t eat it you won’t find it in these oats. Of course I know many bacon lovers out there so if you are one of them and add it to these oats you will have to report back and let me know how it is. I know there is even vegan bacon made of coconut out there but I haven’t made it, I really should try it since my oldest always says “I want to be a vegan or vegetarian that eats bacon”.

I made two versions of these oats, and I am sure many spin offs as well since I just love the combo! You can do overnight oats or warm oats. I use Vega Protein Smoothie in these which is safe for the family but you can also do raw cacao and sweetener of choice if you wish. With the overnight I usually just cut up fresh banana and with the warm oats I will roast my bananas, yum!!

In a container mix together oats, chia seeds, and 1 cup of milk, cover and refrigerator overnight.

Elvis Protein Oats (Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Banana Protein Oats)- Warm oatmeal version

Makes 1 serving

1/2 oats, gluten free

1 TBSP organic chia seeds, optional

1 scoop chocolate powder (used Vega Choc-A-Lot Protein Smoothie)

1-2 TBSP peanut butter (used our favorite Peanut Butter & Co Smooth Operator)

1/2- 1 c non dairy milk if needed to reach desired consistency (used So Delicious Unsweetened Almond Milk Plus, for extra protein)

Turn on oven broiler to high. Put a piece of foil down on a cookie sheet and place banana slices on top of the foil. Cook oats on the stove (my prefered method) or in the microwave per package instructions. Place the bananas in the oven on the top rack under the broiler and roast until they start to get golden brown, a few minutes, watching carefully. When oats have finished cooking remove from heat and stir in optional chia seeds and chocolate protein powder, adding milk to reach desired consistency if needed. Top with peanut butter, roasted sliced bananas and optional cacao nibs. Enjoy!

As a Vega Recipe Ambassador I receive Vega products, which I used as an option in this recipe. I use Vega not because it is given to me but because it has been my plant-based protein of choice since before I started blogging and some recipes are made with Vega products I purchase. I only write about foods I love, my blog is an extension of my hobby to make fun healthy food creations for me and my family.
