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.
