Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Creamy unsalted peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.5 cup Fresh fruit slices (e.g., bananas, strawberries) (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Add the rolled oats to the boiling water, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats have absorbed most of the water and start to soften.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the unsweetened almond milk to make the oatmeal creamy.
Add the creamy unsalted peanut butter to the oats, stirring until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Sweeten the oatmeal by mixing in the honey, then add the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract for flavor.
Continue to cook the mixture for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until it thickens to your preference.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit for a minute to cool slightly.
Serve the oatmeal hot, garnished with optional toppings such as chopped nuts and fresh fruit slices to add texture and additional flavor.
