Why you’ll love this peanut butter oatmeal
It tastes like a treat but it’s totally healthy. It’s an easy-to-make breakfast that’s suitable for all types of eaters (vegans, too)! Make it pretty with all the toppings for a special breakfast like a birthday or anniversary. Double the batch so breakfast is ready for the next day.
Water: we use water to cook the oats but you can also use milk or a non-dairy alternative if you prefer. Rolled oats: we use old-fashioned rolled oats but you can use quick oats if that’s what you have on hand. Use gluten-free rolled oats if needed. Peanut butter: peanut butter has a unique flavor that we love in this recipe, but you can use any type of nut butter. Try almond butter, pumpkin seed butter, or even tahini. We recommend using natural nut butter for this recipe, but you can use whatever you have in your pantry. Berries: fresh berries are wonderful if they’re in season, but frozen berries work as well. Chia seeds: chia seeds are an easy and excellent source of omega 3’s and fiber. Maple syrup or honey: an optional touch of maple syrup or honey adds sweetness. Chia seeds, peanut butter, berries, milk of choice: optional toppings, for serving.
Add nuts and/or seeds: some of our favorite include peanuts, pecans, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds. They’re nutritious and they add a nice crunch! Switch up the fruit: Raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries are the most common but blackberries, peaches, pears, and apples are delicious too. Use coconut milk: full-fat coconut milk is super rich and creamy. Drizzle some over your bowl of oats for a delicious dairy-free topping. Scoop of yogurt: a scoop of Greek yogurt will give these oats a protein boost and will keep you feeling fuller, longer.
This peanut butter oatmeal also tastes great with a seasonal jam like our rhubarb strawberry chia jam or a simple strawberry jam.
