PB & J Oats

Difficulty:BeginnerPrep time: minutesCook time: 5 minutesTotal time: 5 minutesServings:1 servings

Ingredients

• 1 cup oats
• 2 cups water
• 1-2 tablespoons peanut butter or preferred nut butter
• 1-2 tablespoons jam or preserves
• 1-2 teaspoons turmeric
• I add turmeric to my oats for the added anti-inflammatory benefits. It’ll give your oats a golden color but won’t affect the taste at all.

Instructions

1. Cook oats on a stovetop on medium heat, stirring constantly until oatmeal takes upon preferred texture.

2. Put oats in a bowl and spoon (hehe) in some peanut butter and jam.

3. I usually add almond milk, and inhale the bowl like it’s a superpower.
