Creamy Stovetop PB&J Oatmeal

Don't get me wrong - not throwing shade at that super easy & surprisingly good microwave pouch oatmeal, but the stovetop version is where it’s at!

A little more work....but so worth your effort!

It's creamier and thicker than the micro-version, & adding in mashed banana adds even more creaminess along with the perfect amount of sweetness.

Hope you love it as much as I do!

Here is what you'll need ....

• 1 cup nut milk (or coconut milk)

• 1 cup water

• 1 cup rolled oatmeal

• 1 mas

hed banana

• 1/2 cup fresh/frozen blueberries

• 1/2 tsp chia seeds

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp vanilla

• 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional if you prefer less sugar)

• 1–2 scoops collagen (optional) I like using vanilla

Place all ingredients (minus the collagen) into a medium sauce pan. Turn to medium high heat, mix, and bring to a boil....make sure to begin stirring as it boils!

Turn heat down to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring consistently until oatmeal thickens up....

Then stir in collagen (and additional milk if needed to thin), and cook for another minute

Top with a good heaping Tsp of your fav nut butter (I find that packets of nut butter work perfectly for this!)

Add any other toppings that sound good - walnuts, chopped apples, shredded coconut, etc

Enjoy!
