The crisp fall weather is upon us and I am all about meals that warm the soul right now. Just after I had my daughter, this almond butter and banana oatmeal was my go to breakfast. If you’re a breastfeeding mama, oatmeal has been shown to increase your milk supply. Oats are also known to help regulate blood sugar levels. This is a win-win! Filling, delicious and it warms the soul.

I have a bit of a sweet tooth and this almond butter and banana oatmeal absolutely satisfies that craving while also keeping me full for hours! I have made this recipe with regular oatmeal, or with my egg white oatmeal. You can read about how to make an easy egg white oatmeal here. What I love about adding egg whites to my oatmeal is it gives them an added protein boost as well as making them extra fluffy. Fluffy oats are delicious.
Sometimes I also like to throw some chia seeds on top for the added health benefits. It doesn’t change the flavor at all but gives your body so many more nutrients!
