I’m a weirdo when it comes to oatmeal I guess, but I don’t like mine all mushy and slimy. I never liked the kind that comes pre-packaged (you shouldn’t eat it either, look at all the extra sugar that’s in there). My husband and I are both big fans of chocolate and peanut butter together, so it just makes sense to make our oatmeal that way.
Here’s how I’ve been making mine lately:
Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal
Warm up a small amount of chocolate calorie countdown milk in the microwave (less carbs). Put old fashioned rolled oats in bowl, natural peanut butter, a little honey, and add milk. Mix well and enjoy. Lately I’ve also been adding a little coconut to the mix. If you make it this way, the oats don’t get all mushy and gross, they still have some texture.
If you do like mushy oatmeal, you can add it all together in the bowl and then warm it up in the microwave.
I haven’t tried it, but if you wanted more protein for breakfast you could add in a scoop of chocolate protein powder and water instead of the milk.
Let me know what you think!
