Peanut Butter Cookie Oatmeal
A 4-minute microwave oatmeal that tastes like a peanut butter cookie — creamy oats with melted peanut butter, brown sugar and banana. The easiest cozy breakfast.
Servings: 1 serving
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup old-fashioned oats not quick or instant
- ⅔ cup water or milk
- salt a good pinch
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- brown sugar to taste
- ½ banana sliced
- milk for serving
Instructions
- Combine the oats, water (or milk) and salt in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on full power for 2 minutes. Stir in the peanut butter. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with brown sugar. Top with the banana slices and a splash of milk.
Notes
Old-fashioned oats only: They hold their texture in the microwave; quick or instant oats turn gluey.
Stir the peanut butter in hot: It melts into the oats for that peanut-butter-cookie flavour.
Watch for boil-over: Use a deep, roomy bowl — oats foam up in the microwave.
Sweeten to taste: Brown sugar gives a cookie-like note; start small and adjust.
