Peanut Butter, Banana, & Cacao Oats

The hazelnuts and dates balance the cacao nibs' bitterness perfectly—it's sweet without being cloying. I've eaten it three mornings in a row and the bananas actually stay fresh-tasting, not mushy like I expected from a packaged bowl.

The cacao nibs are the star here—that bitter crunch against the sweet banana and soft oats is exactly what I needed to kick my sweet-tooth breakfast habit. I’ve eaten this three mornings in a row and I’m not even close to bored yet.

The hazelnuts and dates balance the bitter cacao nibs so well, it’s like a grown-up dessert I don’t feel guilty eating. I’ve been adding a splash of almond milk and letting it sit for a minute, and the texture turns perfectly creamy.
