Instructions

Pour your smoothie into a glass or jar and enjoy immediately. You can top it with homemade granola, or a drizzle of creamy peanut butter if you like, to make it even richer. Enjoy!
Notes
If you are on a gluten-free diet, make sure you use certified gluten-free oats
If you don't have a frozen banana at hand, add some ice to your smoothie to make it cold
Substitute rolled oats with quick (instant) oats if you like. Steel-cut oats won't work for this recipe
The sweetness of your smoothie will depend on how big/ripe your banana is. If it is small or not ripe enough you can add pure maple syrup or agave syrup to make it sweeter
Add a few splashes of plant-based milk if the consistency is too thick for your liking
You can use almond butter or any nut butter instead of peanut butter but this will slightly change the flavor of your oat smoothie
