Peanut Butter and Jelly Oatmeal

Bring the water and milk to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Add the oats, honey, cinnamon, and salt and cover. Stir the mixture every 5 minutes or so, to check the water isn’t getting to hot and that the oats aren’t sticking to the bottom.

After about 30 or so minutes, when the mixture is thick and most of the milk and water mix is gone, add the peanut butter and chia seeds and mix in thoroughly. When the oatmeal is at a consistency you like, pour it into a bowl and top with the melted jam and chopped peanuts.

Remember, this is oatmeal and you can make it anyway you want. Prefer almond butter? Go for it! Want maple syrup instead of honey? Do it! Make it your own.

Oh, and if you think you added to much liquid and can’t seem to get a thick enough consistency, leave the lid off the pot and it will evaporate instead of the oats having to absorb it.

Enjoy!
