Notes
Cooking Oats: To ensure a creamy smooth oats, stir to keep the chia seeds from sticking together. You want to make sure that all the ingredients are combined, including the peanut butter.
Consistency: If you want it a little thinner, simply add liquid, milk or water. I usually add another 1/4 cup of milk after the oats have cooked if I want a thinner oats.
Peanut butter: You can use any peanut butter or nut butter.
Spice: Cinnamon and nutmeg are optional spice pinch to add into the oats.
Banana: Sliced banana over cooked oats and finished with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup is delicious!
Tip: To try something different next time, add 1/2 mashed banana to cook with the oats for a creamier oats.
