Directions

Step 1

Heat a pot of water to a simmer for the poached eggs.

Step 2

Meanwhile, toast the walnuts in a nonstick skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Cook the oatmeal in a saucepan by bringing 2 cups of water to a boil with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Add the oats and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the oatmeal becomes too firm, loosen it with a little more water. Cover to keep warm.

Step 4

Add the white vinegar to the pot of simmering water. Break the eggs into individual cups or plates. Gently stir the simmering water in a circular fashion, then drop the eggs into the water one at a time. Do not let the water boil.

Step 5

Cook 5 minutes, until the egg whites are set. Remove with a slotted spoon and pat dry with a paper towel. Season with a pinch of salt, if desired.

Step 6

Divide the oatmeal into 2 bowls. Top each with sliced banana, chopped walnuts, peanut butter, and a poached egg.

How do you add the peanut butter? Spread with a knife? Drop in spoonfuls? Seemslike it isn’t the right consistency to put on oatmeal

Hi Mara, Gwen typically drops a spoonful of peanut butter onto the oats - she finds that it makes for a higher protein meal that fuels her running. You can see how it all comes together here: https://www.facebook.com/peteandgerrys/videos/10155694915498473/. You're also welcome to substitute almond butter or even a runnier, smoother peanut butter instead! If you try this, we'd love to hear how it turns out!
