Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 medium Chopped banana (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and low-fat milk.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the oats simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and are creamy in texture.
Stir in the low-fat peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon. Mix until the peanut butter is well incorporated and the oatmeal is smooth and creamy.
Remove the saucepan from heat. If desired, stir in the chopped banana and chia seeds for added flavor and nutrition.
Divide the oatmeal into two bowls, letting it cool slightly before serving.
Optionally, garnish with a few slices of banana or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for a nice presentation.
