Friends! Mornings just got a whole lot more delicious. I'd like to introduce you to Peanut Butter Oatmeal. And yes, it is every bit as delicious as it sounds. If you're a fan of PB&J, then this oatmeal was made for you.

This peanut butter oatmeal is awesome because

  • It tastes like a PB&J sandwich, only in delicious oatmeal form.
  • It'll make your morning happy.
  • It tastes like a treat, but it's totally healthy.
  • It turns vegan breakfasts into the best breakfasts ever.
  • It's easy enough to make before work. Pop the pot on the stove before you take a shower and breakfast will be ready when you are. If you press snooze as many times as I do, you might have to swap the homemade chia jam for a store-bought jar in your fridge. But hey, I won't tell anyone!
  • It's pretty enough to wake up to on your Sunday mornings. Peanut butter oatmeal + giant mug of coffee = the best Sunday ever!

Is peanut butter oatmeal healthy?

Yes! Whole grain oats and protein-packed peanut butter sit firmly in the healthy food category. Sweetened naturally with fruit and a little optional honey or maple syrup, this oatmeal is a great way to start your day.

Try adding a chopped banana on top and get a whole serving of fruit first thing in the morning!

Healthy toppings for peanut butter oatmeal

  • Nuts. Peanuts are the obvious, but other nuts are tasty, too. Try toasted pecan, walnuts, or even hazelnuts.
  • Fruit. Raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries can be used fresh or frozen. Chopped bananas or peaches are tasty, too.
  • Coconut milk. From a can for the best coconut flavor.
  • Yogurt. Dollopped on the top.
  • Sweetener. We like honey or maple syrup the best.

Ingredients

  • Ā½ cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons natural, creamy peanut butter

  • Optional: Ā½ teaspoon maple syrup or honey
  • Optional toppings: chia seeds, a scoop of peanut butter (see notes), berries, and milk of your choice (I like coconut milk in mine)

Instructions 

  • Place the rolled oats with 2 cups of water in a small pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the oats are soft. Stir in the peanut butter.

Notes

For extra quick peanut butter oatmeal, use quick oats and top with store-bought jam instead of making your own.
To drizzle the peanut butter like I've done in the pictures you'll want to add a little water to the peanut butter, just until it is pourable. It won't affect the taste, but it does make it extra pretty.
