PB CUP PROATS

If you love the flavor of a peanut butter cup but want something nourishing enough to power your morning, this PB Cup Protein Oatmeal Bowl is for you. It’s rich, creamy, and chocolatey with just the right balance of sweet and salty. Plus it’s packed with protein to keep you full and fueled. Whether you’re gluten free, dairy free, or just looking for a better for you breakfast that tastes like dessert, this bowl checks all the boxes.


Why I love this PB Cup Protein Oats Bowl:

This bowl has become a staple in my morning rotation because it satisfies both my sweet tooth and my nutrition goals. The combination of chocolate, peanut butter, and banana is pure comfort, but it’s also balanced with protein, fiber, and healthy fats. It comes together quickly with pantry staples I always keep on hand, and I love that it’s easy to tweak depending on your needs—whether you’re dairy-free like me or adding extra toppings for more indulgence. It feels like a treat, but it’s designed to fuel your day.

These oats are served cold, which makes them perfect for busy mornings or post-workout fuel. Just mix, top, and enjoy—no cooking required!

Ingredients:

  • Quick Oats - Oats are a great source of fiber and can help support digestion and blood sugar balance. Bakery on Main  purity protocol oats are certified gluten free and safe for those with celiac disease. 
  • Chocolate Protein - Protein helps keep this bowl satisfying and supports muscle recovery, especially after a morning workout. For a dairy free option, I use Active Stacks beef based protein. It is free from dairy and pea protein, two ingredients I avoid. For those that can tolerate dairy, I recommend Clean Simple Eats Brownie Batter protein. (Code GFMACROS)
  • Peanut butter powder - peanut butter powder adds more peanut butter flavor with fewer calories and fat than traditional peanut butter, plus a little extra plant-based protein.
  • Honey - A natural sweetener with antioxidants and antimicrobial properties. It gives the oats a subtle sweetness without relying on refined sugar.
  • Creamy Peanut Butter - Adams peanut butter is a clean peanut butter with no added sugars or oils. It adds healthy fats and that creamy, comforting texture that makes this bowl so satisfying.
  • Almond milk - A dairy free alternative that keeps the oats creamy without adding inflammation-triggering ingredients. Unsweetened almond milk keeps sugars in check.
  • Banana - Adds natural sweetness, potassium, and prebiotic fiber to support gut health. It also pairs perfectly with the chocolate and peanut butter combo.
  • Chocolate chips - Just a sprinkle adds fun and indulgence. I use Enjoy Life chips because they’re dairy free and allergy friendly. For a sugar free option, try Lakanto or chocolate chips sweetened with dates.
