Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled or old-fashioned oats
- 2 cups water
- 4 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- a big pinch fine sea salt
Toppings (Optional)
- Strawberry jam or jelly
- Blueberries
- Chocolate chips
- Vegan caramelized bananas or fresh banana slices
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, water, peanut butter, brown sugar or maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and fine sea salt to a small pan.
- Heat and Stir: Place the pan over medium-low heat. Stir continuously, using your spoon to break down lumps of peanut butter so it melts smoothly into the mixture.
- Cook Until Creamy: Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oatmeal thickens and becomes creamy. Remove from heat just before reaching your preferred thickness, as it will continue to thicken slightly off the heat.
- Serve with Toppings: Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and add your choice of toppings such as strawberry jam, blueberries, chocolate chips, or banana slices for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute peanut butter with any nut or seed butter if desired.
- Adjust the sweetness by using maple syrup, brown sugar, or any sweetener of choice.
- The oatmeal thickens further after cooking, so remove it from heat slightly earlier than you want.
- For creamier oatmeal, consider adding a splash of plant-based milk or regular milk while cooking.
- Adding toppings like fresh fruit or nuts enhances flavor and nutritional value.
