Oatmeal Peanut Butter Delight

I love that the only ingredient in Old-fashioned oats is oats! Oatmeal with peanut butter is one of my favorite things to eat!

Tips:

  • If you buy the old fashioned oats in the large canister and use ¼ cup at a time as suggested on the left, you will get 60 servings, and it will only cost you pennies per serving.
  • If you double the oats, double the water.
  • Avoid pre-packaged oatmeal which often has many additives. Look for plain oatmeal and add your own toppings.
  • Can be eaten as a breakfast or a snack.
