"peanut butter cookie" oatmeal

  • Made this for the kids this weekend. While I do not recommend for an everyday breakfast, is good for a once in a while "treat"

    I made this for 5 people so of course play with the quantity

    4cups boiling water
    2cups old fashioned oats
    1/3 cup peanut butter (I used Skippy because the kids do not like natural but the fresh ground natural works FANTASTIC)
    Splenda (to taste)
    Cinnamon (to taste)
    1tsp. vanilla

    Boil the water, add the oatmeal cook for about 7 minutes or so, until the water is mostly gone and the oats are done. Stir in remaining ingredients and serve.

    Tastes like a peanut butter oatmeal cookie and the peanut butter gives me that extra protein kick in the AM and seems to make the oatmeal "stick" longer.
  • yummers!
  • yeah it is yummers. Not an everyday treat, but a nice once in a while treat for sure
