Now that the weather has changed, I am ready for some warm comfort foods. I have never been a cereal person, so oatmeal is one of go-tos on busy mornings. I tried to love overnight oats, but the texture is off, and I really do like my oats warm. For awhile I was making the oats the night before, then microwaving in the morning... until I realized I could skip the night prep and just mix and heat. This breakfast takes me less than five minutes to make, and keeps me full.
I have used the base mix of oats, milk, vanilla and chia seeds with a bunch of different mix-ins, but the peanut butter and "jelly" combo is definitely one I keep coming back to. Depending on the consistency you like your oats, the ratio of milk to oats may change a little bit- I usually add a little more when I stir if I think it's a little to thick. Using frozen fruit is convenient, plus I'm not adding a bunch of sweetener while still satisfying my sweet tooth. Microwave times may vary a little bit, but it is super simple, quick morning breakfast to start my day.
Ingredients
3/4 cup oats (you can use steel cut if you prefer)
1/2 cup milk of choice
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1-2 tablespoons peanut butter
1/2 cup frozen (or fresh) raspberries
Directions
1. Mix oats, milk, vanilla, chia seeds, and peanut butter in a bowl
2. Microwave for 1 minute
