Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons fruit jam or jelly (your choice of flavor)
- 0.25 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 0.5 cups fresh fruit (e.g. banana slices or berries, optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts or seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and the mixture thickens.
Once the oatmeal is cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and gently stir in the milk for a creamy texture.
Divide the oatmeal into two serving bowls.
Add a tablespoon of peanut butter to each bowl, swirling it into the oatmeal slightly if desired.
Dollop a tablespoon of jam or jelly onto each bowl, allowing it to sit on top or gently mix it in.
If using, drizzle honey or maple syrup over the top for added sweetness.
Top with fresh fruit, chopped nuts, or seeds to enhance flavor and texture, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your wholesome PB & J oatmeal!
