Introduction

If Elvis had been a vegan, this is how he would have started the day. This is a play on his favorite sandwich--a grilled peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwich. It’s creamy, sweet, peanutty, and has a touch of smokiness and salt. If Elvis had been a vegan, this is how he would have started the day.

Ingredients

**This recipe uses a smaller slow cooker that’s 1 1/2 to 2 quarts

1/2 cup steel-cut oats

2 cups unsweetened coconut milk

1 ripe banana

(the riper it is the less extra sweetener you’ll need to use)

2 tablespoons all natural peanut butter

1 – 2 tablespoons sweetener (I used agave)

For serving: crispy vegan bacon bits

Directions

The night before: Spray your crock with some oil to help with clean-up later. Add oats and coconut milk. Cook on low overnight (7 to 9 hours).

In the morning: Stir your oatmeal well. It may seem watery at the top, but if stirred, it should become a more uniform consistency.

In a separate bowl, mash the banana, peanut butter and agave together until a paste is formed. Mix this in with the oatmeal.

Stir in agave or other sweetener. Top each serving with 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon vegan bacon bits depending on how much salty you like with your sweet!

Serving Size: Makes 2-3 servings
