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.

Hi. Your description says the recipe has almost 14 g of protein, but the nutrition box says 7 g of protein. Which is correct?
Thank you!
