Indulge in a delightful morning treat with our Peanut Butter Maple Oatmeal Delight! This comforting bowl starts with creamy old-fashioned rolled oats cooked to perfection in a blend of milk or water, infused with the sweetness of maple syrup or honey, and a hint of kosher salt for balance. As the oats simmer, they absorb the luscious flavors, creating a rich base. The magic comes with the addition of smooth, nutty peanut butter, adding a delightful creaminess and a nutty dimension to every spoonful.
Serve piping hot, allowing everyone to customize their bowls with an array of toppings—think crunchy nuts, sweet sliced bananas, bursts of fresh berries, spoonfuls of fruity jam, or even an extra dollop of creamy peanut butter. Versatile and satisfying, this oatmeal recipe promises a cozy start to your day. Plus, it stores well for convenient breakfasts throughout the week, ensuring a delightful morning routine with each spoonful.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups milk or water

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey

  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter

  • Topping options: nuts, sliced banana, fresh berries, jam, or additional peanut butter

Directions

  • In a medium saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups milk or water, 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer.
  • Stir in 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats, ensuring they are fully combined. Cook and stir frequently until about 2/3 of the liquid is absorbed by the oats, which typically takes 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 minutes. (Note: The oatmeal will appear quite runny at this stage.)
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat, cover it, and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Uncover the saucepan and add 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Stir thoroughly until the peanut butter is well incorporated into the oatmeal.
  • Serve the oatmeal immediately, allowing everyone to customize their bowls with the desired toppings.

Notes

  • Storage: Leftover oatmeal can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When reheating, adjust the consistency by adding more milk or water as needed
