Peanut Butter Oatmeal - serves 3-4

    This recipe is so simple! You can whip-up this oatmeal in a single pot within minutes. Try a garnish of sliced bananas for fun.

 

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup whole milk

1 cup water

pinch of salt

1/2 cup dark brown sugar

1/2 cup chunky peanut butter, preferably Adam's or a good organic brand

fresh fruit and toast (optional)

 

        Set a 2 qt. sauce-pot over medium-high heat. Add milk, water, salt, oats, and brown sugar. Allow the pot to boil uncovered, stirring occasionally. When the oatmeal begins to thicken (it should look like a thick, saucy porridge), add the peanut butter one scoop at a time. Stir vigorously to incorporate the peanut butter. Taste the oatmeal to make sure the oats are well cooked and the seasoning and consistency are good. You may want to add more salt, sugar, or peanut butter for added richness.

    I recommend serving the oatmeal with some fruit and a slice of buttered toast. Enjoy.
