Peanut Butter Oatmeal

I am not a fan of oatmeal, but this isn't oatmeal in the traditional sense. It smells and tastes like oatmeal peanut butter walnut cookie except the texture is creamy oatmeal. I really like the crunch from the walnuts, I was tempted to add raisins too, but I forgot and already ate it all. I used Bob's Red Mill rolled oats and they take about 10 minutes to cook down, and I feel like you should use a good quality oat as it's the star of the show here. Jif creamy peanut butter worked well. The cinnamon is lost in there and I could not taste it at all, as the peanut butter dominates. I did not warm the honey, as the hot cereal itself did that when I drizzled it over. This feels more like a dessert than a meal. It's very filling and I could only finish half because I was too full. It's delicious.

This is a nice filling breakfast. I like the walnuts for crunch. I used a half tsp of cinnamon, organic natural peanut butter, and left out the sugar. The honey is enough sweetness for me.

I’ve made oatmeal a myriad of ways but never with peanut butter. This was delicious! I subbed almond milk and pecans because that’s what I had, but I can’t imagine it making any difference in the outcome. Definitely a breakfast I’ll be having over and over.

This one is going into my breakfast rotation. Made exactly as directed, including the optional walnuts, and I loved it. Kept me full until lunchtime too.
