How do you do it? Do you put it in while it is cooking, or add it after? I usually put 1 Tablespoon of cinnamon in while it is cooking, then add a mashed banana, but I want something different. So should I put cinnamon in while it is cooking, and then add PB after? Or what?

    I've been wondering this too............I know PB melts so i bet if you put it in either while cooking or while still hot in bowl it would work. I want to eat it in oatmeal and cream of wheat.

    I haven't tried peanut butter in oatmeal but I have a friend who adds peanut butter to instant oatmeal and then freezes it. She makes 4 balls and they are 86 cals each. I was thinking of trying it.

    I cook my porridge first, then stir in the pb while it's warm.
    Chopped or grated apple is a good addition too.

    I've never done it, but I think I'd nuke it first (to make it runny), and mix it in just as it finished cooking... because, even in hot oatmeal, I think it'd be difficult to blend evenly....

    Wonder if it would work with marshmallow fluff... :wink:

    I put a scoop of PB2 in some oatmeal this morning.

    I fed it to my dog, but it sure looked delicious.

    I usually put PB with a banana, blueberries, and strawberries when i have my hot oat bran cereal. It tastes great!

    I like peanut butter and Jam (jelly) on toast so I tried that combination in my morning oatmeal too it was really good, I mixed it in the bowl once it was cooked, the heat of the oatmeal melted it all together.

    PB doesn't melt completely in oatmeal in my experience. nuke it for about 20-30 second and then blend :)

    I am going to experiment with that tomorrow morning. I use an organic PB that is quite soft at room temperature so I think I will not have problem mixing both after the oatmeal is cooked.

    pb or almond butter is delish. I also sprinkle some baking cocoa in, too.

    Oh!!! I made a post just a bit ago on Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal and Peanut Butter Cream of Wheat. (:

    Standard recipe...

    1 cup Water
    1/2 Oats ( I use western family whole grain oats)
    1 Tbsp Peanut Butter
    Several drops of sucralose or other sweetener *optional*

    Just put your water in waiting until it starts to boil then add your oats and turn the heat down a bit. Once your oatmeal gets to your desired texture add in your peanut butter. I like to use those rubber flat spatula-like things (call me dork I can't think of what else to call it) and stir until it is obvious that all contents are evenly distributed. I then add sweetener.... and voila!! Peanut Butter Oatmeal (:

    I do every day for the most part. I use PB2 and add after the oatmeal is cooked, i tried while it was cooking but did not care for it like that. I use Almond milk and a banana then a little splenda on top. I love it

    I add a tbsp of natural peanut butter or PB2 while it is cooking and then slice up a banana in it as well. So good!

    Sometimes I put peanut butter and jelly in my oatmeal. Delicious, and only around 300 cals/serving!

    I haven't tried peanut butter in oatmeal but I have a friend who adds peanut butter to instant oatmeal and then freezes it. She makes 4 balls and they are 86 cals each. I was thinking of trying it.

    I make them with uncooked oatmeal. 1/2 cup oatmeal with 3 tbsp of peanut butter. Mix together, roll into 4 balls, and put in freezer for 30 mins before you eat, or over night. They last about 2 days! So yummy! They are 86 cal each, and 5g of carbs! :)

    You can also add cocoa powder if you want to, I'm going to try that next time!
