peanut butter & jelly oats

if you love pb&j but want to switch it up from the usual sandwich, these fluffy oats are the perfect base for your favorite pb&j toppers!

For those of you that know me, you know I love peanut butter and jelly in any form I can get it.

But I have a special fondness for pb&j oatmeal.  For some reason it feels so much more special than just a regular peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

This keeps me full all morning long thanks to the combination of protein, fiber and heart-healthy fat.  Whenever I know I have a long morning ahead of me, it’s one of my go-to breakfasts.

And I mean, really – is there anything better than the peanut butter / jelly flavor combo?  And if peanut butter isn’t for you, you can use any nut butter you want!  I just happen to prefer the classic.

I also like to add chia seeds to the mix to make the oats a little more hearty.  In fact, I never make oats without them anymore.  They soak up some of the liquid so you get a chewier texture.  Plus they’re filled with omega-3s, protein and fiber!

I’m also personally a raspberry jelly person but you can use whatever flavor is your favorite.  This would also be great with blueberry, strawberry and even grape!

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 cups plain, unsweetened soymilk (or water, or other preferred milk)
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1/4 cup natural peanut butter (or preferred nut butter)
• 2–3 tablespoons raspberry fruit preserves (or preferred flavor), divided
• 1 cup fresh raspberries, divided
• 2 tablespoons unsalted peanuts, roughly chopped, divided

Instructions

1. Combine oats, liquid of choice and chia seeds in a saucepan over medium high heat.
2. Stir frequently and once the majority of the liquid is absorbed (about 3 minutes), turn the heat to low, gently fold in peanut butter, stirring to combine (*see note).
3. Fold in 1/2 the fruit and stir continuously until the oats get a somewhat gummy texture (about 2-3 additional minutes).  Fruit should be warm & gently tender.
4. Scoop contents out into two bowls.  Top with additional peanut butter as desired and divide fruit preserves, remaining berries and chopped peanuts among bowls.

Notes

• If oats seem thick, add additional liquid to thin out until it has reached your desired consistency.
