Ingredients
- ½ cup chocolate almond milk or regular milk
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 dash salt
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup optional
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tbsp chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp roasted peanuts some chopped some wholes
Instructions
- Place milk, water, salt, and oats into a large microwave safe bowl. Give a quick stir. Heat on full power for 2-3 minutes. Check the oatmeal at 2-minute mark. It should be soft, puffed and with just some of the liquid left. Let is stand for 1-2 minutes after it has cooked.
- Add peanut butter, chocolate chips, peanuts. Add maple or honey syrup if desired.
- Stir the oatmeal and added toppings together. Enjoy warm!
Notes
- I used caramelized roasted peanuts; feel free to use any peanuts that you like. If you get regular peanuts at the grocery store, make sure to roast them to have the nutty flavor come through at its fullest.
- Quick swap for chocolate milk if you don’t have any: use one tablespoon of cocoa powder and milk.
- Give it a good stir before cooking the oatmeal in the microwave.
- You can also use certified gluten-free oats to make this oatmeal 100% gluten-free.
- I use smooth peanut butter, but you are welcome to swap it if you prefer different peanut butter.
- Don’t skip the salt! The salt helps bring out the sweetness of the oatmeal and balances out the flavor. It doesn’t make the oatmeal salty.
