Submitted by Brooke the Cook in

"Peanut butter and oats plain and simple!! One of my favorite oatmeals in the morning when I'm feeling the need for something with added protein. WW points = 4"

 

• Ready In: 5mins
• Ingredients: 3
• Serves: 1

ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup old fashioned oats
• 1⁄2 cup water
• 1 tablespoon natural-style peanut butter

directions

1. Combine oats and water.
2. Microwave on high for 1 minute and stir. Return to microwave and heat on high stirring every 30 seconds until desired consistency is reached. Adding the peanut butter will thicken the oatmeal a little. I do mine for about 2 minutes and 30 seconds in my 1200 watt microwave.
3. Add natural peanut butter and stir until incorporated.

I was looking for a way to put more protein in my diet and I came across this idea. This is now my favorite breakfast. I actually change the proportions substantially and I also add in some whey protein. When I'm done, I have a great meal. Thanks for posting. 1/3 cup oats, 1 cup water, several tablespoons of peanut butter, 1 scoop whey protein

Simple and delicious. You can't get much easier than this. It's a super healthy way to start the day. I did add a bit of almond milk to the finished product.

I don't know why I never thought of just adding peanut butter to my oatmeal... I also sprinkled a little cinnamon in there, and it's great. Thanks!

I never tried either making oatmeal in the microwave or adding peanut butter.I eat a lot of oatmeal and this was a nice change. I usually have mine without any sweetener so this was just fine for me.I used my own homemade peanut butter.
