Peanut Butter Chia Oatmeal

Servings: 1

Ingredients

1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

2 tsp chia seeds

3/4 cup non-dairy milk

2 tbsp peanut butter

1/2 cup roasted nuts (peanuts, almonds, slivered almonds, etc.)

1/2 cup chopped fruit (strawberries, banana, apples, etc.)

  1. Place the oats, chia seeds, and non-dairy milk in a medium bowl, and microwave for about 1.5-2 minutes, until milk is absorbed, and oatmeal is at desired texture.

  2. Top with peanut butter and nuts, and fold to gently combine.

  3. Top with fresh fruit

Tips

  • This recipe is only made for one serving, but if you want to make a bigger batch, you can make the oatmeal on the stovetop or microwave a larger batch

  • This recipe is actually what I eat every morning for breakfast! I generally use oat milk, and top it with roasted salted peanuts, and whatever fruit is in season. During the summer months, it’s strawberries and/or blueberries, in the fall it’s chopped apples, and in the winter it’s either bananas or pomegranate arils

  • Many people prefer steel-cut oats, but for me, I like breakfast to be as easy and fast as possible, so I like to keep things simple, and use rolled oats, since they don’t need to be cooked on the stovetop.
