Weight Watchers Banana Blueberry Oat Bowl
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or skim milk
- 1/2 banana
- 1/3 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon powdered peanut butter mixed with 1 tablespoon water
or 1 teaspoon natural peanut butter - 1 small square dark chocolate, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Zero-calorie sweetener, optional
Instructions
- Add oats, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt to a small saucepan.
- Cook over medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until creamy.
- While oats cook, lightly brown the banana in a nonstick pan for 1 to 2 minutes per side. You can use a tiny spritz of cooking spray.
- Spoon oatmeal into a bowl.
- Top with blueberries, caramelized banana, and the peanut butter mixture.
- Add the dark chocolate square on top if using.
Lighter Weight Watchers version
Use:
- unsweetened almond milk
- powdered peanut butter instead of regular peanut butter
- no chocolate
That keeps it more points-friendly while still tasting like the picture.
Higher-protein version
Add one of these:
- 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt stirred in after cooking
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons egg whites stirred in while the oats are hot
Approximate nutrition
This varies by brands and portions, but the lighter version is roughly:
- 250 to 320 calories
- good fiber
- moderate protein
Notes about WW points
WW points can vary by:
- your current plan
- exact brands
- whether you use almond milk, skim milk, or regular milk
- powdered peanut butter vs regular peanut butter
- whether you include chocolate
So I would treat this as a low-to-moderate points breakfast and calculate it in your WW app with your exact ingredients.
