Equipment

medium saucepan
wooden spoon
measuring cups
knife
serving bowls

Ingredients

1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup milk
1 cup water
1 pinch salt
2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
1 banana, sliced
1 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

Add oats, milk, water, and a pinch of salt into a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally.
Cook the oatmeal for 5 to 7 minutes until the oats become soft and creamy.
Reduce the heat and slowly stir in the peanut butter until smooth and fully combined.
Add honey and cinnamon if desired, then stir again.
Serve warm with banana slices and optional toppings like strawberries, blueberries, chopped peanuts, or chocolate chips.

Notes

For creamier oatmeal, use milk instead of water and stir the peanut butter in near the end of cooking. Customize with banana slices, strawberries, blueberries, chocolate chips, honey, or chia seeds. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days and reheat with a splash of milk to restore creamy texture.
