What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For a creamier texture, stir the peanut butter directly into the yogurt before adding other toppings.
- 2Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness, which might allow you to reduce or omit the honey.
- 3If you prefer softer oats, mix them with the yogurt and let it sit in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before eating.
- 4Natural, unsweetened peanut butter is best to control sugar content. The kind where oil separates is a good sign!
