The Banana Oatmeal Cookie Shake is a delicious and nutritious shake that combines the flavors of ripe bananas and wholesome oats to create a delightful treat reminiscent of banana oatmeal cookies. It’s a perfect way to start your day or enjoy as a healthy snack.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (quick oats or old-fashioned oats)
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based, like almond milk or soy milk)
- 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness as per your preference)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes, as needed
- Optional toppings: sliced banana, a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, and a few oats
INSTRUCTIONS
Peel the ripe banana and break it into smaller chunks.
In a blender, add the banana chunks, rolled oats, milk, almond butter or peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Blend all the ingredients until you get a smooth and creamy consistency.
If you prefer a thicker shake, you can add more rolled oats or a few ice cubes and blend again until well combined.
Taste the shake and adjust sweetness or cinnamon flavor to your liking.
Once the Banana Oatmeal Cookie Shake is ready, pour it into a serving glass.
If desired, you can top the shake with some sliced banana, a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, and a few oats for added texture and presentation.
Serve the shake immediately to enjoy its comforting flavors and nourishing ingredients.
TIPS
Use ripe and sweet bananas for the best flavor. You can also use frozen bananas for a colder and creamier shake.
Adjust the sweetness level by adding more or less honey or maple syrup, depending on your taste preferences.
For a vegan version, use plant-based milk like almond milk or soy milk and agave syrup instead of honey.
If you want extra protein, you can add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the shake.
You can also add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of almond extract for additional depth of flavor.
If you have dietary restrictions, feel free to customize the recipe with suitable substitutes.
