Morning!
Hope everyone’s Mondays are off to a good start.
I’m a little slow to get moving this morning so I decided to tackle my desk tasks first thing. Before I did that though, breakfast was needed.
Peanut butter and jelly oats!
I tried something different with this batch…
I normally add the strawberries right at the start of cooking…
But today I held them out for the first half of cooking so that they would still be warm but wouldn’t disintegrate completely (which is what normally happens when I add the softer fruit like berries and peaches in first thing).
And it worked out really well!
Peanut Butter & Jelly Oats {for one}
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (I used Trader Joe’s and I highly recommend them, they were fluffy, fluffy, fluffy!)
- 1 tbsp. chia seeds
- 1 cup water
- 6 sliced strawberries
- Tbsp. favorite natural peanut butter
- Tbsp. favorite strawberry fruit spread (I used Great Harvest Charlotte Strawberry Spread)
- Sprinkling of unsalted peanuts
Directions:
- Combine first 3 ingredients and cook according to instructions (I used the microwave)
- Top with following 4 ingredients
- Enjoy!
Now you’ve got me singing the peanut butter jelly song haha! “Peanut butter jelly & a baseball bat!”
Hahaha – it’s stuck in my head too!!
I am in love with that bowl!! This looks delicious.
Thank you!
Yummy! I almost always wait to add my fruits until the end of cooking. I like them warm, but still basically intact. Especially blueberries. 🙂
I don’t know why I never thought of that until now! It’s definitely better 🙂
I so love that bowl and of course everything that went in it!
Amazing photos as always!
Thanks Claire! 🙂
