Peanut Butter Cup Oatmeal

Add 1 cup water to a small pot over medium-low heat. Bring to a slow boil, then add oats. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Add agave nectar and cook for 1 more minute.

While oats are cooking, combine cocoa powder and half-and-half in a small bowl. Microwave for 15 seconds, then stir to combine. Add this mixture to the oats and cook for 1 minute longer.

Stir in peanut butter and cook for about 30 seconds until peanut butter is melted into oats. Stir in vanilla extract.

Add egg white, stirring constantly to ensure egg is fully combined into oats (to avoid those little egg white pieces!). Make sure everything is heated through and egg is fully incorporated then remove pan from heat.

Top with chocolate chips, sprinkles, or more peanut butter!
