I’m going to be on television!!
The Dallas ABC affiliate news team is filming a story on me, for the 5 o’clock news! It’s pretty much the coolest thing to happen to me since… ever?!
For the feature, I’m thinking of either making the Deep Dish Cookie Pie or the Black Bean Brownies.
Right now I’m more excited than nervous, but that’s maybe just because it hasn’t really sunk in yet how many people are going to see this! Today’s agenda: figuring out what to wear, setting up dishes, and going on a cleaning spree. To power me through, I made a stand-by favorite breakfast:
This isn’t your average bowl of peanut butter oats. The cooking method makes this breakfast taste like you are eating a giant bowl of gooey peanut butter pudding. It’s life-changing… at least as far as breakfast is concerned!
Peanut Butter Breakfast Pudding
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 a ripe banana
- 1-2 tbsp peanut butter OR allergy-friendly alternative
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- sweetener of choice, to taste
- optional: chocolate chips
Instructions
Cook the oats, salt, and milk (either on the stove or in the microwave). Meanwhile, blend the pb and banana. Then add your vanilla, sweetener, and 1/2 of the cooked oats to the blender (I used a Magic Bullet) and re-blend. Stir in the rest of the oats. You can blend all the oats if you prefer, but I like the chewiness of leaving some un-blended.
Are you comfortable speaking in front of a group?
Or do you dread giving public presentations? Have you ever acted in a play or been on tv? I always loved giving class presentations and speeches in school, so I probably would’ve enjoyed acting. Unfortunately, I was too busy with soccer and tennis to join the drama club. As for the upcoming tv story, I am nervous about one thing (which might sound silly and superficial): what to wear. I’m clueless about fashion. Any tips?? Please send them my way!
Side note: I updated the Chocolate-Covered Katie Press Page.
Do you have any nutritional info on this or other recipes?? Thanks, I just found your blog from another blog (rabbitfoodformybunnyteeth.com). I absolutely love her blog and I am falling in love with yours.
Hi Niki,
The nutritional info is linked in the post 🙂
Ooops, I’m so sorry. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I just found your blog and already made the flour-less cookies and my son (3 years old today) LOVED them. Thanks!!
I have recently discovered your website and can’t seem to stop exploring….and drooling! 🙂 You should sell a recipe book!!! We tried this for breakfast this morning and my kids were licking their bowls and I was helping! 🙂 This tasted like something that should be VERY bad for us!
I used freshly made almond milk to mke the oats and it was so good!
Best breakfast EVER! I just recently found your site and love it! So many tasty looking recipes! I have so far made the 1minute chocolate cake with Reese’s pieces frosting, peanut butter breakfast pudding, chocolate cake batter milkshake, red velvet pancakes and brownie batter pancakes. YUM!
I do NOT like oatmeal….but I eat it for the health benefits. I made your peanut butter breakfast pudding this morning and WOW! This is the first time I have ever enjoyed my bowl of oats! They were amazing!
I tried this for breakfast this morning and it was absolutely delicious! Big fan 🙂
Fashion tip: Be yourself. If they want you, Be you.
I had this oatmeal for breakfast this morning – Delicious! I had my doubts about blending the banana and peanut butter – I love bananas, but sometimes when they’re blended into things, it makes me feel like I’m eating something “banana flavored” which is not something I’m fond of. But this was great. I used coconut almond milk…yum! I think I’ll make a larger portion next time…I was genuinely sad when I got to the bottom of the bowl!
I’ve made this for breakfast the past three mornings! I think I’m addicted! I normally eat oatmeal with all the ingredients listed, but blending and cooking it with milk adds a whole new dimension. I’m excited to go to sleep at night so I can wake up and have breakfast! =)
This recipe is amazing! I am an oatmeal junky and am always on the lookout for new recipes. Had this for today’s breakfast and was blown away! I’m definitely going to try your other oatmeal recipes. I love being excited for breakfast:)
I made this for breakfast this morning and it was so good, I can’t stop thinking about it! (And I’m not much of a banana fan, either. I’ll eat them, but I don’t love them. I couldn’t really even taste the banana in this, so that’s extra good for me! Hurray for the extra potassium!) Going to make it again tomorrow. 🙂 Thank you so much!!!!
