How to Make Peanut Butter Jelly Oatmeal Breakfast Delight

Step 1 Grab a small saucepan. Add oats, chia seeds, milk, and water. Bring to a boil. Stir often to avoid sticking. Step 2 Lower the heat. Mix in vanilla, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Watch the texture thicken. (Hard-learned tip: Stir powdered peanut butter in last. It clumps if added too early.) Step 3 Add powdered peanut butter. Stir until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness or salt if needed. Step 4 Pour into a bowl. Top with peanut butter, jelly, or fresh berries. Get creative with toppings. What’s your favorite oatmeal topping? Share below!
