This was great! I used regular Peter Pan peanut butter because it was what I had and it tasted like a warm peanut butter oatmeal cookie. Next time I may try 1 Tbs peanut butter and sprinkle a few mini chocolate chips over it or add some cinnamon. It was very filling and I've got way too many surplus calories today.

    I had something similar today - I cooked my oatmeal on the stove and used 1/2 cup of almond milk and 1/2 water as I cooked it. Then after it was cooked I added about 1.5 tbsp of peanut butter and a banana! I also poured a little more almond milk over the oatmeal. It was SUPER yummy!! :)

    Oh, wow, I never thought about flavoring my oat meal with pb! I'm sure I'll love it! I'll probablyskip the brown sugar, though. Thanks for sharing!

    I modified it from a cookbook I borrowed from the library but didn't put it in the database. I've never done that but I may give it a shot in a bit.

    i just had peanut butter oatmeal for breakfast this morning!!
    only i use 1/2 tbsp of low sodium jif with my quaker cooked with water.
    its 198 calories & 1 gram of sugar & 20 grams sodium.
    a little more boring than yours, but i find less sugar sticks to my ribs longer! lol
    oatmeal is awesome & so versatile!!!

    ps. its great with 1/2 a banana cut up in it too with the peanut butter!!!

    I tried that without brown sugar before. Being I am not a big oatmeal eater, I did not think it had enough sweetness. I will try it with the brown sugar though. Thanks for the post

    I tried this yesterday and was surprised at how good it was!
    My quantities and calories vary a little bit:

    1/3 cup rolled oats + 2/3 cup water, microwave for 1:30 mins
    Add 1/3 cup skim milk, microwave for 1:30 mins
    Stir in 1 teaspoon peanut butter.
    Add fruit - yesterday I added squashed up banana, today it was chopped apple plus a few blueberries. Yum!

    My cals came out at 256 with a very small banana, 257 with 1/2 apple and 1/4 cup blueberries. A pretty low cal but delicious and filling breakfast!

    I used 100% peanut butter (no added salt, sugar, oil), but once that's finished I will try it with my new favourite - almond, brazil, cashew spread.

    I hadn't thought about adding half a banana. I'm going to try that one after I make it to the store that is.
